Create multiple rows and save text

jonny.aa24

I'm quite new to the API and so getting to grips with it slowly.

I'm trying to create a CRUD application and one of the main use cases of it is quick-create times.. reducing copy-pasting text etc... So my ideal scenario is to have a create button where I fill in the form, submit it, then have the form all intact still to submit again... and again and again... just editing the form fields as I go....

My create button has the following logic:

 { extend: "create", editor: editor,
              formOptions: {message: "", onComplete: 'none'},
              formButtons: ['Create',
                            { text: 'Submit and add another', action: function () { this.submit(); this.create(); console.log('creating...')} }
                           ],
              text: 'New Entry',
              className: 'new-entry-btn'
            }

This allows me to actually submit twice, but the 3rd time, it closes automatically. I'm not sure why this is the case?

Everytime I click 'Submit and add another' I it should submit and then create again right? Not close after the 2nd submit.

Also, the form fields go back to null after every submit..

Help appreciated

This example here might be worth looking, as it seems to do mostly what you're after. Here, it's keeping the form open, and re-using the "position" field in the next edit. THis might be able to get you going,
