Example of dependent() for filtering type: datatable

jacob.steinberger

Does anyone have a link to an example of using editor.dependent(), but instead of updating a select (via options), updating a datatable type instead?

To be slightly more specific on the problem/request, I'm unsure how to reference a "type: datatable" inside an editor definition, to update/refresh the data within it. I can use editor.dependent() to trigger all the necessary workflow to create a filtered dataset, I'm getting it returned, I have it, but unsure how to send that to the editor datatable element to refresh its contents.

Figured it out ...

  editor.dependent('a_id', function (val, data, callback) {
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: '/api/dt/filter',
        async: true,
        data: { values: { 'id': val } },
        dataType: "json",
        success: function (data) {
            console.log('data',data);
            editor.field('a_id').update(data.results);
            return;
        }
    })
  });

Not as classy as updating the "options" table, but it works!

That leaves figuring out how to re-select the values, if you're editing something that has already been built ...

Editor should handle the reselection of values automatically. Can you give me a link to a page showing the issue please?
