  Or, Is is possible to call the Editor create method with parameter which will then prepopulate the form?

  The Editor create should populate the form using the field defaults (fields.def). It shouldn't be using the value form a previous edit. Are you able to link me to a page that shows that problem?

  Or, Is is possible to call the Editor create method with parameter which will then prepopulate the form?

  At the point above you can use val() to set the values of the fields that you want (note I would recommend using the Editor API rather than the direct DOM manipulation as you have above) - for example editor.val( 'name', serEnteredQueryDataDipConfig );

  Thanks,

  Nice, thank you very much Allan. I appreciate you answer. It does work only after the first time i press the add button. On the second time the form open, is then prepopulated. Am i doing something wrong? Am i using the right event listener (open )? I have also tried init, pre-open, but does not work :-( . I am sorry for not being able to provide a link coz the site is not online yet. Any help or advice will be very much appreciated.

  Thks again for your previous solution Allan

  Okayyy, i found the solution, i should not put my code in dataConnectionsEditor.on('open', function (e, json, data). For the people who might read this in future:

  $(".addNewRecord").click(function ()
  {
      $('#DTTTollAddNewButton').trigger("click");
      var newVarVal = $('#JQueryCombo').mnCombobox('GetVal'); 
      dataConnectionsEditor.val('name', newVarVal);
  });
  

  This chunk of code prepopulated your DTEditor form with the vale set(name in this case).
  loving this editor it has numerous possibilities...

  Thnks Allan
