@AbhishekC1725 sure, your question is right. Let me give you an example. We have a list of products displayed in a table and end users will be having option to enable the checkbox against each of the products. That means if there are 40 products, and users enabled 30 products, then these 30 products needs to processed further. I mean for billing, payment etc. So this data is not required to save to data type but this is required in case level as each users will have different selections and we need this selected data for processing further. So we use editable data page here and in the clipboard for these selected products, it will be true. We will be using this true value further.
But if suppose, there is a feature to update customer's relationships. So we will need to fetch existing relationships in the UI, assume user added 1 more relationship in the UI and this data is required to be there in UI as we may need it for reporting or future purpose. Here fetching and saving back to DB is there. So here savable dpage.

@Anoop Krishna Hi, I read the second comment, In layman terms what I understand basically, Editable data page we will use when we want to fetch the records and update some details in the fetched record. In case of Savable data page we can update + save new records in database. Is this is correct?

@AbhishekC1725 you are correct. In savable data page, we can do fetch, update and save back to DB. But in editable data page, we can do fetch and update but no save back to DB. So if we need only fetch and update in clipboard level, editable dpage. If we need save back to DB also, then savable dpage.

@Anoop Krishna Thanks, Savable Data page is very much clear now. But this point, "So if we need only fetch and update in clipboard level, editable dpage." if the values is updated in clipboard level, it means values is not getting save in database, when user again open the case then he will see old values, So what is the use of updating value in clipboard level. I just want to clear this, that;s why asking 😅

@SantoshiSandhyaK we need to set it to savable dpage and then save. That's the ideal way.
