[Resolved] Backend layout/functionality

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
Backend layout/functionality - change how custom field displays on post add/edit screens

Solution:
I'm afraid that there in no such way to customize the custom fields as per the screenshot you shared and its even in backend.

It purely requires custom programming in backend to display such layout to edit custom fields.

If you need custom programming for your project, you may would like to contact our certified partners:

Tell us what you are trying to do?
I am curious if there is any way to customize the custom fields in the backend to form a table for a lineage chart like in the attached examples, that would make it much easier for the client to enter the information. We are currently doing it as you can see in the screenshot titled "pedigree-current.jpg" but it's really kind of confusing. The other two screenshots are examples of custom programming that have been done for other people.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
No

Is there a similar example that we can see?
See attached screenshots

What is the link to your site?
