Hi,

Currently i'm loading data from a json file so i can fill a listview (mobile) with the data.
Is it possible to change the data? For example I have a string: "20040000 - Intern". I would like to be able to remove the first part of the string before showing the data in the listview. Would anyone know if this is possible and if so, how?

Have you tried implementing a parse function in your Datasource? 

...
// Converts the incoming myrec.datefld from a string to an actual date object (using DateJS)...
parse : function(data) {
  $.each(data.myrec, function(i, val){
    val.datefld = Date.parse(val.datefld);
  });
  return data;
}
...

If you are editing the data, you will need to have a ParameterMap function when you put the data back on the server that reconstructs the proper value....
