how can I tell if the Editor instance that got opened is New, or Ed

I have this

        buttons: [
            { extend: 'create', editor: editor },
            { extend: "edit",   editor: editor }
        ]

next, I want to make some decisions on what to show and what not to show in an "edit" window,
I was trying to use something like this:

editor.on( 'open', function ( e, something) {
   if(something == 'xyz'){
       actions to hide fields
   }
} );

is there a parameter, value, property that I can find in the editor that I can evaluate to decide if this particular form is a "create" or an "edit"?
I saw this example, which uses the 'type', but that is the same for Create and Edit.

Thanks for any help on this.

The open has a parameter action that was introduced in 1.5. This will allow you to see if its a create, edit or remove operation.

You can also use mode() to determine what the editing mode is, or set the fields up as needed in separate initCreate and initEdit event handlers.

I need something like that what I need.
Unfortunately, I am probably doing something wrong, because

    editor.on('open', function( mode, action) {
        console.log(action);
    });

always evaluates to "main" regardless of opening the New, or the Edit buttons.

Note that the open event has three parameters, for example:

editor.on('open', function( e, mode, action) {
    console.log(action);
});

With your code action is referencing the second parameter which is mode.
