how to keep from losing data when focus is lost on full row create.

jettyapp

Description of problem:

If you look at the following example:
https://editor.datatables.net/examples/inline-editing/fullRowCreate.html

When you click the "New" button to start creating the row and enter data into a few fields then click somewhere outside of the row you are adding all the data disappears and you have to start all over.

I would like for this to behave in a 'modal' fashion where nothing happens unless you click either a save or cancel icon in the row.

That's the onBlur option - see an example of it here. For it to continue editing, use the value none - i.e.

        buttons: [ {
            extend: "createInline",
            editor: editor,
            formOptions: {
                submitTrigger: -2,
                submitHtml: '<i class="fa fa-play"/>',
                onBlur: 'none'
            }
        } ]
