Cell Editor Type

firstsoftware

Is it possible to set the editor type based on row instead of column, format is
field_name, value
where the value type is based on the field name, there is only 2 columns

I'm afraid not. The fields.type option is not configurable via the API - it can only be set at initialisation time or when the field is added to the form.

If you want to change a field's type dynamically you would need to remove it using clear() and then add() to add a new field of the required type.

If it helps anyone the following appears to work for setting editor based on row type

    customRowEditor.on( 'key-focus', function ( e, datatable, cell ) {
      editor.clear( 'custcell' ); // name of column for editor which needs to be removed
      var fieldtype = datatable.row(cell.index().row).data().fieldname; // field display type
      if (fieldtype =='Date')
    editor.add( {type: "datetime",name:"custcell",label: "custcell"});
      else if (fieldtype =='select')
    editor.add( {type: "select",name:"custcell",label: "custcell",options:[1,2,3]});
      else if (fieldtype =='text')
    editor.add( {type: "ckeditor",name:"custcell",label: "custcell"});
      else // display default input
    editor.add( {name:"custdata",label: "custcell"});
      editor.inline( cell.index());

    } );
