Change data submitted to the server

lucianonapoli

Hello, I'm trying to have the possibility to change the submitted data to the server but without success.

Have tried this but the form is updated and the submit sends the old data to the server.

            editor.on( 'preSubmit', function ( e, o, action ) {
                
                 if ( action !== 'remove' ) {
                    var salary          = editor.field( 'users.salary' );
                    
                    if (!salary.val()) {
                        salary.error('Value not valid');
                    }
                    
                    var salaryFloat = parseFloat( salary.val() );
                    
                    if ( salaryFloat < 100 ) salaryFloat = 150;
                    
                    editor.set( 'users.salary', salaryFloat );
                    
                    // also tried salary.set(salaryFloat);
                    

                    if ( this.inError() ) {
                        return false;
                    }                   
                }
            } );

Maybe I understand that have to use

editor.submit(successCallback, errorCallback, formatdata, hide)

but don't understand how. Please can you provide me an axample?
Thanks

You can't use the Editor API methods to set a new value at that point (in preSubmit) as the data has already been gathered from the form. You need to modify the data in the o object (second parameter passed in) if you want to change the data that is submitted. It is that object that will be sent to the server.
