Disable inline editing sharepoint 2013 through powershell

Question

I have migrated a sharepoint 2010 list with inline editing enabled to sharepoint 2013 and now this setting is not viewable through the GUI, thus I cannot disable it. Is there a powershell cmdlet for this?

Answer 1

Yes, you can disable inline editing through powershell, in SharePoint 2010 or in 2013 (for lists upgraded with this property).

Answer 3

this feature breaks the customized list form, more specifically the rich multi lines text boxes are not auto expanding. I ended up deleting all views and recreating them..
