Assigning values from one datasource to another

[JCSCo]

Hi,
I have a page that has three different datasources bound to a host of grids, text boxes, drop downs, etc. All three datasources are being saved at the same time via a single button that fires the sync event for all three datasources. I need to update a field in one of the grids with a calculated value from a different grid (bound to a different datasource) WITHOUT calling the sync function sending updates to the server. I can successfully retrieve the value from the source grid in the change event, but I am not sure how to assign that value to the field in the other datasource. Any ideas?

Thanks

Hello JCSCo,

This could be achieved by getting the data item you wish to modify and use its set method. For example: 

var item = dataSource1.at(1);
item.set("FieldToBeUpdated", dataSource2.at(1).FieldToGetValueFrom);

In case you wish to updated this field for all items, then you could iterate over the array returned by the DataSource's data method and use the above approach.

Thanks, that seems to do the trick.
