Editor, select field, can I do onchange=submit ?

ve7tcc

For inline editing, if I have a field which is a type='select' (dropdown menu type)
can I get it so that a new selection triggers a submit?

I tried onblur, did not trigger unless I click on another column.

The same goes for datetime fields, in inline editing, can you have onchange = submit()

Go to this example, https://editor.datatables.net/examples/inline-editing/simple.html
and inline, change a date. It does not trigger an update. How can I do that?
I have to hit return on that example to save my change.

Some progress with this. But it affects primary and bubble editing too. I am not sure how to get it to only work on inline editing. I am sure this is not the optimal way to do this either. I figure doing similar for datetime fields should work.

            editor.on( 'open', function ( e, json, data ) {
                $( editor.node('field_name')).on( 'change', function ( e, json, data ) {
                    if( editor.field('field_name').val() !=
                            editor.field('field_name').s.opts._lastSet ) {
                        editor.submit();
                    }
                });
            } );

I worked out I can use the condition:

editor.s.displayed == "inline"

to confirm it is inline.

Something like this should do the job:

editor.field( 'myField' ).input().on( 'change', function () {
  editor.submit();
} );

Note - I would very strongly recommend against using the private s object in any way. It is considered to be internal to Editor and its properties can, will and do change between versions.

Thank you, I will try this.
Is there a method to replace the editor.s.displayed == "inline" bit?

the on change did not work for the datetime field, are there events for the date picker I can try?

Thanks!
