[Editor] - Update field in a specific Row

VascoOliveira

According to the Editor field().multiSet() documentation, it allows to edit a field in a specific row, using:

editor.field('fieldname').multiSet(<ROW_ID>, account.value);

Unfortunately, its not working.

Jquery: 1.12.4
Datatables: 1.10.16
Editor: 1.7.3

Debugger information here.

Am i missing something? Shouldn't the field().multiSet() allow to set a field in a specific row?

Could you show me the code you are using (unfortunately the debugger doesn't show that), and also explain how you are triggering the field().multiSet() method please?

Thanks,
Allan

The method is triggered by a simple function call, and its as simple as:

function updateRow(){
 editor.field('field1').multiSet( 'DT_ID_1', 'New Info' );
}

Please note that initially i was editing the cell directly, and that workedas expected:

function updateRow(){
            const dtrow = datatable.row({selected: true});
            const field1Cell = datatable.cell(dtrow, 1);
            field1Cell.data('New Info');
}

Have you triggered editing on the DT_ID_1 by the time you call that? You need to have activating editing on the row to be able to set its value.

No, i haven't.

Is it possible to trigger editing programmatically?

allan

Yes - edit() can be used to trigger editing. It also has options to show (or not) the form as needed.

This example shows an application of that.
