I want to make my list, can be editable, so I asked Gwen AI, and suggest me to make my tree editable as below

```auto
<tree editable="bottom">
   <field name="timesheet"/>
   <field name="date"/>
   <field name="project"/>
   <field name="so_no"/>
   <field name="task"/>
   <field name="detail"/>
   <field name="time_in"/>
   <field name="time_out"/>
   <field name="total"/>
</tree>

```

and it also suggest me to execute:

```auto
trytond-admin -u module_name --activate-dependencies

```

Now I got error:

```auto
invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'bottom'

```

And I asked Gwen AI again.. and it suggests me to check the trytond version.. and it is 7.4.9

According to Gwen AI .. its a bug… can you guys confirm this?  
How to revert back to before after I activate dependecies? I really need to present this tomorrow morning

Thank you in advance

Regards  
Bromo

Dear bromoapp,  
the editable attribute is a boolean, so set it as 1.  
It used to work as editable top and bottom, but has since been removed.

```auto
<tree editable="1">

```

I beleive this is since version 5.6

> The `editable` attribute of the `tree` view is now a boolean. This allows the client to choose the best position to use when adding a new record by looking at the default order the server sent it.
