ajax.reload()

Alexandr45

ajax.reload() when the form is open resets the current field "select2" values to the default values

Yes, I think that is what it is supposed to do. Why are you doing an ajax reload while the user edits data?

I agree, but if this happens through setInterval

We're happy to take a look, but as per the forum rules, please link to a test case - a test case that replicates the issue will ensure you'll get a quick and accurate response. Information on how to create a test case (if you aren't able to link to the page you are working on) is available here.

Cheers,

" ... but if this happens through setInterval" ... then you can turn it off on "open" of the form and turn it back on on "close" of the form.

The working code that Roland helped me with

var timeinter; //global variable

//only start refreshing after the data table has been fully initialized
table.on ('init', function () {
    timeinter = setInterval( function () {
          table.ajax.reload();
    }, 60000 );
});

editor.on( 'open', function () {
    clearInterval(timeinter);
});

editor.on( 'close', function () {
     timeinter = setInterval( function () {
            table.ajax.reload();
      }, 60000 );
});
