Copy and Edit

[Insad]

Hi,

Is there an easy way to copy a record and then start the edit for this record in one go?

During the copy some data might be changed before the record is added and edited.

 

I have setup a sample script here:

http://dojo.telerik.com/@Insad/epERa

 

But I don't know how to go from there.

 

What I have done is take a simple grid, added a custom button in the command column and attached the click to a function inside my viewModel.

Here I can get the current dataItem, change the ProductName, set the ProductID to null and add it to the datasource and force a refresh of the grid.

But what happens is that the original item in the grid has the changed ProductName in it and a new record is added at the very end of the grid, without a ProductID.

How I get the edit started is also not known to me at this time.

 

Is there another way? Is there a sample for this somewhere (didn't find anything in the forum or with Google)?

 

Best regards,

 

Insad

Note that preferably I would like to do this at datasource level if possible.

Also note that I'm using the MVVM model.

Okay, I must have been looking with my nose.

I found the same question here: Custom command Duplicate Row

There are some things with it but I will mention them in that thread to keep the issues together :)

 

Sorry for the duplicated item :(
