Editable table with Chronoforms 8 - joomla v.4.x

Create an editable table in ChronoForms 8.

Overview

The issue is that while creating a table to list database records is straightforward, making individual records editable requires a separate form to read and save data, which is not automated in version 8.
Follow the linked tutorial to learn how to set up a table list and connect it to a separate form for editing records, similar to the technique used in ChronoForms v5.

I'm unable to create an editable table with Chronoforms 8. Are there any examples available to understand how to create a table that reads a database and is editable by clicking on a field?

creating a table to list db table records is easy with the "Table view", but making records editable requires that you setup another form to read the target record and save the data, this is not yet automated in v8

I should follow a technique similar to the one used with ChronoForms v5, creating a table and a form to read the record. But in C5, there was the option to connect the two modules, and I don't understand how it can be done with C8.

Could you provide me with a small example, even with 3 fields of an editable table?
