We usually force the editing of all the fields together by using
compound field selection options like:

<option value="DateStarting+DateTermination">Starting/Termination Date
or
<option value=ITBBought+ITBSold+ITBStock> number of items
<option value=ITBPaid+ITBPrice> prices
<option value=ITBStatus+ITBDate> status+date

Cheers,
Thomas
