"initEdit" versus "open" with "action === 'edit'"

rf1234

Hi Allan,

I have replaced all of my "initEdit" Editor events with "open" events checking for "action === 'edit'".

I noticed that the initEdit events were only triggered when the form was opened for the first time. When I edited a record, closed the form and reopened it again, initEdit wasn't triggered. I needed a page refresh for it to work again. That was an issue. Is this as designed? Or is this a bug?

The open event works fine and doesn't need a page refresh to work when I open, close and reopen the form.

Here is the code that I moved from initEdit to open:

.on('open', function(e, mode, action) {
    $('.DTE_Form_Info').addClass("text-warning");                
    if (action === 'edit') {
        this.message( function () {
            return 'If you change this entry all of your corresponding\n\
                    approval requests will be deleted!';
        })
        this.disable( [ 'contract.govdept_id',
                        'contract.instrument',
                        'contract.type'        ] );
    //in case there already is a derivative you can only change to multiple derivatives
    //because you shouldn't delete a component only add components
        if (this.val('contract.derivative') >= 'A') {
            var i = 0;
            while (derivativeOptions[i]) {
                if (derivativeOptions[i].value === this.val('contract.derivative')) {
                    this.field('contract.derivative')
                        .update([ derivativeOptions[i] ], false);
                }
                i++;
            }
            if (this.val('contract.derivative') !== 'X5') {
                this.field('contract.derivative')
                        .update(derivativeOptionsMultipleOnly, true);
            }
        } else {
            var opts = derivativeOptions;
            if ( this.val('contract.type') === 'F' ) { //if it is fixed rate                    
                opts = derivativeOptionsNoCapFloorCollar;
            } else {
                if ( this.val('contract.type').substring(0,1) === 'V' ) { //if it is variable rate
                    if (val >= 'V1') { //if it includes cap floor collar
                        opts = derivativeOptionsNoCapFloorCollarFRA;                          
                    } else { //if it does not include a derivative
                        opts = derivativeOptionsNoFRA;
                    }
                }
            }
            this.field('contract.derivative').update(opts, false);      
        }
    }

I noticed that the initEdit events were only triggered when the form was opened for the first time.

It should always be triggered. Could you give me a link to a page showing the issue so I can check it out?

Sorry, no. I removed all of them and replaced them with open events. Seems like initEdit is redundant for my purposes. Just wanted to let you know about the issue ...

I think there is something else going on. If you load up this example and run the following in the console:

editor.on( 'initEdit', function () {
  console.log( 'initEdit activated' );
} );

Then every time you trigger an edit it will correctly show the console message as expected.

yes, it is a bit strange, isn't it?
