To enable inline editing on a grid, do the following:

• Go to the datagrid yml
• Add the following lines into the datagrid configuration

datagrids:
    {grid-uid}:
        # <grid configuration> goes here
        inline_editing:
            enable: true
        save_api_accessor:
            http_method: PATCH
            route: oro_account_update

Datagrid Configuration Details

datagrids:
    {grid-uid}:
        inline_editing:
            enable: true
            acl_resource: custom_acl_resource
            entity_name: Oro\Bundle\UserBundle\Entity\User
            behaviour: enable_all
            plugin: orodatagrid/js/app/plugins/grid/inline-editing-plugin
            default_editors: orodatagrid/js/default-editors
            cell_editor:
                component: orodatagrid/js/app/components/cell-popup-editor-component
                component_options:
                    {key}: {value}
            save_api_accessor:
                # api accessor options
                {key}: {value}

Options name	Default value	Description
enable	false	Marks or unmarks this column as editable. The behaviour depends on main inline_editing.behaviour: enable_all - false will disable editing this cell. enable_selected - true will enable editing this cell.
acl_resource		Enables inline editing if access granted to specified resource. By default is checked EDIT permission to specified entity
entity_name		Entity class name for saving data. By default it tries to get value from extended_entity_name
behaviour	enable_all	Specifies the way to enable the inline editing. Possible values: enable_all - (default). this will enable inline editing where possible. enable_selected - disable by default, enable only on configured cells
plugin	orodatagrid/js/app/plugins/grid/inline-editing-plugin	Specifies the plugin realization
default_editors	orodatagrid/js/default-editors	Specifies default editors for front-end types
cell_editor	{component: 'orodatagrid/js/app/components/cell-popup-editor-component'}	Specifies default cell_editor_component and their options
save_api_accessor	{class: 'oroui/js/tools/api-accessor'}	Required. Describes the way to send update request. Please see documentation for oroui/js/tools/api-accessor

Sample usage of the save_api_accessor with full options provided

save_api_accessor:
    route: oro_opportunity_task_update # for example this route uses following mask
        # to generate url /api/opportunity/{opportunity_id}/tasks/{id}
    http_method: POST
    headers:
        Api-Secret: ANS2DFN33KASD4F6OEV7M8
    default_route_parameters:
        opportunity_id: 23
    action: patch
    query_parameter_names: [action]

Result of the combined options: /api/opportunity/23/tasks/{id}?action=patch

Please note that {id} will be taken from the current row in the grid.
