Is there a way to quick-edit a chunk? What is the tag method?

Thanks

I am also interested in this. I’m sure there is an alternate way to do this but I havent found it yet.

There is no quick edit for chunks, something would need to be built.

Keep in mind that QuickEdit is for editing individual pages from the front-end, so it can handle the various document variables (pagetitle, content, etc) as well as TV values for the document being edited.

Chunks and default TV values are site-wide, and do not change on a per-page basis, so it would be awkward to be changing them from QuickEdit on any given page.

If you want custom blocks of content to be editable on a per-page basis using QuickEdit, use TVs instead.

Thank you both for your reply. The site I’m working on has the "upcoming events" in the left column throughout most of the site. I wan’t the site owner to be able to edit the events without having to go into the backend. It seems a dedicated page with @DOCUMENT in a TV would be a practical approach to this.

My question is this; Is there a better way?
