Unable to open a view in edit mode

Question

Hi All,
I have a Notes assignment block in the Account Overview page. It contains a text area and an EDIT button to modify the notes. Corresponding view and context node for this block are  BP_DATA/NOTES and NOTES respectively. Notes context node is bound to Text context node of the component controller.
The issue is, when agent confirms an account, goes to Overview page and clicks on EDIT button of the Notes block, then, if the block already has some text, then it turns in to EDIT mode. But if Notes section is empty initially, then, on click of EDIT button will not make the view editable.
During debugging, I can see that if notes section is already filled with some text, then there is an entity in the collection wrapper of the NOTES context node(also in the component controller collection wrapper). But if notes section is initially empty, then collection wrapper is empty(both view and component controller context nodes).
My requirement is to make the notes section editable even if there is no text present in it initially. It will be very helpful if someone could give me suggestions on this issue.
Thanks and Regards,
Naren

Hi Nitish,
Thanks for your reply. Infact I only coded the event handler. In the first line, I am reading the entity from the collection wrapper of the context node. If it is bound, only then I can set it in EDIT mode.
ob_entity ?= me->typed_context->notes->collection_wrapper->get_current( ).
IF ob_entity IS BOUND.
Sets the view in EDIT mode
Now, ob_entity is null if there is initially no data in the notes section of the confirmed account. However, if notes is not empty, then, ob_entity is bound and I can set the view to edit mode. This is the issue.
