DataSource.RequestEnd() fires before request is complete

[Vivek]

I want to get the Id of the newly created task after the task has been successfully created. So, I am trying to get use the 'RequestEnd' event of dataSource to check if the event is of type 'create' and if the task id has been returned.

Please see this snippet. and create a new task. It seems that there is no taskId present in the response.

Hello Vivek,

The id field in the DataSource is TaskID not taskId. So in the event handler you can change e.response[0].taskId to e.response[0].TaskID and the correct id value will be returned.

Hi Ivan,

Thanks! That worked. But I am a bit confused. When I console.log() the response, the field shown for id is taskId. Can you explain why that's different?

Hello Vivek,

The JSON response from the remote service is lowercase, however when you try to access the field you should match its casing: in this case (TaskID):

schema: {
                model: {
                    id: "taskId",
                    fields: {
                        taskId: { from: "TaskID", type: "number" },
