Hi, I'm using Editor and I have the necessity to add a checkbox that controls the value of an upload field. Here's the behaviour I'm trying to get:
I have an upload field for an image and I want to 'store' if that upload is necessary or not. So I added this field to my editor
{
label: '',
name: 'noimg',
type: "checkbox",
options: [
{ label: 'No image required', value: 1 }
],
separator: '',
unselectedValue: 0
}
And through dependent():
editor.dependent('noimg', function (val, data, callback) {
if (val == 1) {
editor.field('prodotti.immagine').set(0);
editor.hide('prodotti.immagine');
} else {
if (editor.field('prodotti.immagine').val() == 0) {
editor.field('prodotti.immagine').set('');
}
editor.show('prodotti.immagine');
}
callback(true);
});
I show/hide and set value for the upload field, based on the checkbox status.
The editor is set to 'changed' to submit only changed fields. However, since I added noimg field, every edit ends with noimg data being submitted with 0 value.
Is there an option to prevent a field from being sent to the server? Or am I using the wrong approach to obtain this?
Thank you!
