Edited fields with if/else conditionals display correctly, but not submitting data when changed

HollyL

Link to test case: Sorry this is running on a protected server, so I don't have a test case easily available.

Error messages shown:
No error messages are shown.

Description of problem:
I have an inline edit, with 2 fields that are editable. LASTLOAD and ACRESR
LASTLOAD has a select option of Yes or No

What I need to happen is,
if LASTLOAD gets changed to Y, then ACRESR =0
else if LASTLOAD gets changed to N and ACRESR < HVSTACRES, then keep what is in ACRESR
else if LASTLOAD gets changed to N then ACRESR = HVSTACRES

This technically displays correctly, if you look in the datatables render function, however, it doesn't submit.
How can I get this to submit to the database? I am new to Editor and am still building my javascript skills.

I did try adding it in the editor.on function and submit function, but it didn't work there, what would that look like?
Do you have a full good example of this? I have looked through many similar forum questions, but couldn't get it to work.

Thank you!

Hi,

dependent() is going to be the function to use here, but the call back will need to be a function with the logic you describe in it. I'd suggest also having HVSTACRES as a hidden field type, which will help make the value more easily obtainable.

You note that you could get the logic to work - perhaps you could show me what you had?

Thank you so much Allan.

It is working now!

One more question, I need to add validation, would I add that separately or would I be able to add that right in this dependent statement? Do you have a good example showing use of dependent fields with validate function?

for anyone else looking into this issue, here is the working code using the dependent function:

    editor.dependent( ['LASTLOAD'], function( val, data, callback, e ) {
        if (val === 'Y') {
            editor.field('ACRESR').set('0');
        }

        else if((val === 'N' ) && (editor.get('ACRESR') == '0')){ 
            harvestacres = editor.get('HVSTACRES');
            editor.set('ACRESR' , harvestacres)
        }

        else if ( (val === 'N') && (editor.get('ACRESR') < editor.get('HVSTACRES')) ){
            editor.field('LASTLOAD').set('N');
            editor.field('ACRESR').val;

        }
        callback(true);
    } );

For this kind of validation, I'd do it with a server-side global validator. Client-side validation can be bypassed too easily!

Thank you, the global validation worked great. Appreciate your help.
