Accepted way to set dirty flag via javascript

[Marc]

I have a grid with incell editing with batch update set to true.

I have a custom command that synchronizes the data off two columns like this:

 

command.Custom("Sync Dates").Click("syncDates");

 

    function syncDates(e) {
        var dataItem = this.dataItem($(e.currentTarget).closest("tr"));
        dataItem.set("Date1", dataItem.Date2);
    }

 

 

What is the best way to set the dirty flag on the Date1 cell?

[Marc]

I should clarify that I just want the grid UI to refresh to reflect the css (red icon class) that the dataitem is actually dirty.

Hello Marc,

The Preserve Dirty Indicator in Incell Editing and Client Operations example demonstrates how to set a dirty indicator to the column cell. I believe that same approach can be used for your scenario as well.
