Drupal 8 version

any other solutions to this for drupal 8? it seems that quick edit module in 8 core doesnt work like this. I need to let users edit only a few fields when viewing a content.

I'm afraid no. There is no such solution for now...

Feel free to help port this if you'd like it in D8. You can start with drupal module upgrader.

I'm afraid I doubt it can be that easy with the complete rewrite of field API and all the ajax logic. I spent couple of hours to figure out : we need to get a widget form inside a formatter. Could'nt find the right object / method to get it right. Then the ajax part should be straightforward.

what other solutions have others come up with?

Well, you can develop your own special widget I'm afraid. I tried to use AJAX Form entity and the form modes control module to do it but multiple edit entity forms on the same page do not work in D8, so I used iframes wich begins to be quite ugly (but functionnal).

Any update on this or alternative solutions?

For those who are interested, I have made a feature request to mimic the features of "ditable fields" with "Quick Edit": https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/2943786
Feel free to update it, as my English is very poor and I am not sure that this request is "understandable"

You can also try the Views Entity Form Field module.
