Can't edit records when page opened from master page

Hello,
I have question, is it normal that I cant edit page which is opened from master page? If I open specific page directly then I can edit records, but If I open same page from master page I can't edit anything, all records are read only. Do I have something wrong? Do I need to turn on some options?

Thank you for any advice,

Note that master/detail key and primary key fields cannot be edited, other fields should be editable.

Is there a workaround for this?

If "opened from master page" means going to the List page of the detail table, the List page is in view mode. To edit those records, you need to enable Grid-Edit or go to the Edit page for individual record. Or you can enable Master/Detail-Edit for the detail table (see Table Setup in the help file) and then you can edit the master/detail records in the same page (in the Edit page of the master table). Either case, you can edit fields other than the master/detail key and primary key field only.
