  (edited) Thanks for triggering me to retest this module ;-)
  
  Some quick testing on the drupal module [Editable Views](https://www.drupal.org/project/editableviews) for D7 shows this now works.
  
  Note1: site tested on also using [CiviCRM Entity](https://www.drupal.org/project/civicrm_entity) so this may be a requirement.
  
  It worked for me for eg First Name and a custom text field and a custom radio though it only showed Value not Label for the options.
  
  Steps:
  
  * add/enable modules (of course)
  * set View up based on civi contact (for my testing purposes)
  * add new field and choose CiviCRM Contacts: Entity metadata property (editable)
  * this includes a new dropdown called Metadata property where you can then select eg First Name, or a custom field
  * Save field
  * hey presto
  
  Wasn't super fast in saving but that might be my dev system
  
  Note1 if this is awesome but needs a bit of love in terms of eg multichoice Label v Value, then either the CiviCRM Views code needs a tweak or CiviCRM Entity does.
  
  Note2 there is new work going on to extend CiviCRM Entity currently (see [blog](https://civicrm.org/blogs/jackrabbithanna/civicrm-entity-upcoming-and-future-development)) so if it is something you can help fund to happen it would be good to reach out on that project.
