  Use dependent(). That will let you make an Ajax request whenever the host field has its value changed.

  There is some more discussion about it here.

  Hey Allan,

  That does indeed make the updating a lot easier, but that only answers a part of my question.

  I would like to run certain validations during the preopen event but only when a certain column has been clicked (and only inline). Is there a way to check which column has been clicked within the preopen event?

  Kind regards,
  Gloria

  Update
  I have tried using: editor.field().name()
  This gives me the error "uncaught exception: Unknown field name - undefined".

  When I change it to: editor.field('field_name').name()
  The error is gone, but obviously, the only result I get is 'field_name', unrelated to the field I've clicked.

  If I change it to:
  editor.on( 'preOpen ', function ( e, mode, action ) {
  console.log(editor.field(e).name());
  }
  The error changes to: uncaught exception: Unknown field name - [object Object]

  If I change it too:
  editor.inline(this, {
  submitOnBlur: true,
  submit : 'allIfChanged'
  });
  editor.on( 'preOpen ', function ( e, mode, action ) {
  console.log(editor.field(this).name());
  }
  The error message remains: uncaught exception: Unknown field name - [object Object]

  displayed() is the method to use to get the field name of the field(s) displayed.

  Can your data be invalid if it is already in the table?

  Hey Allan,

  The displayed() code also doesn't work inside the preopen event.

  So I did:

  $('#myTable').on( 'click', 'td', function () {
      editor.inline( this );
      console.log(editor.displayed()[0]);
  } );
  

  It looks like this is what I need, except for the small detail that I only get the correct value when the editor hadn't been activated already.

  If I jump from residents to price to budget, without deactivating the inline editor, I'll get the result:
  'residents' - undefined - undefined

  Could this be caused by my version of the editor? (1.7.2)

  I was trying to use the preopen event to say that if there aren't any budgets for a certain resident, then the inline editor doesn't need to activate.

  Thanks in advance !

  Update
  I found this page: link
  And noticed this part of the code:

  //  var fieldName = e.currentTarget.s.includeFields[0];
  var fieldName = editor.displayed();
  fieldVal = eval(`this.field("`+fieldName+`").val()`);
  

  The strange thing is; e.currentTarget.s.includeFields[0] does give me the result I need. editor.displayed() does not.

  So I'm going to asume that I have an outdated version of the editor script and simply go along with the e.currentTarget.s.includeFields[0] (which works for me).

  Thanks for your help
