I agree with Christian obiee it's not  Data entry system, despite of this, you could do writeback through its action framework the possibility to do some update/insert, I also implemented write functionality and some.client wants to leverage these functions, but o

biee has constraints just only could apply in table, etc.

For more detail check the write back limitations section

Possibility to incorporate: low / pointless / there are *actual tools* which are *designed to do what you want to do*.

I get that client ask this and I get asked this often enough myself. Just turn the question around: "So you want your 2-seater Ferrari to transport 12 people?" "Well it's not really the point of that car but we can always cut it in pieces, stretch it, highten it, add more seats etc."
