Hi,

I have a master detail datatable : for example 1 table category and 1 table sub-category.

When i duplicate a category, i want also duplicate all child rows ( sub-category ).

Is it possible to do that ?

Regards

    Is that using a join, like this example? Are you able to link to your page so we can see the relationships?

    But how to duplicate also child row ?

    Editor itself won't do that do you I'm afraid, and as you are seeing our example doesn't attempt to do that.

    What I think your best option for this would be is to send an Ajax request to the server to duplicate a specific row in the parent table, and it would query the linked table to see if there are any other records to duplicate. i.e. basically bypass Editor for what you are looking to do here - I think it would just slow things down in this case.
