Foreman uses Jeditable jquery plugin for editable elements.
This plugin is unmaintained, and lack of some features.

A better alternative is x-editable, well maintained and supports much more inputs:

• text
• textarea
• select
• date
• datetime
• dateui
• combodate
• html5types
• checklist
• wysihtml5
• typeahead
• typeaheadjs
• select2
