Update resource from index

Is there a way to update a resource record from the index view? I would imagine I could create a custom field to do this but have not seen much information. All I found in the FormField.vue file of a custom field is methods on how to populate the value and pass the value to the formdata in the edit view.

Here is the use case: many time when I have an backend that handles things like orders, it seems like a good UX would be to update an orders status from the index view, not click to edit, click select a new status, click save. From index view you could have a select field that would save the new status value when its changed. Much faster for something simple like that.

Anyone had experience with this?
