    Hi!

    Is there any way to add dynamic default values? When I push the "Add row" button a new row with a new default value (max  value + 1) for count column should be added.

    Example:

    .ToolBar(toolbar => {
            toolbar.Create().Text("Add row");
        })
    ...
     .Model(model => {
                model.Id(n => n.ID);
                model.Field(c => c.count).DefaultValue(<this value needs to be max value + 1>);
                model.Field(c => c.count).Editable(false);
            })

    I have tried to adding an event on .Events( e => e.Change("MyFunction"))  but the row adding is done after MyFunction event is fired.

    Hi Staffan,

     

    Current approach to use the edit event is valid and you can use it to change the default value for given field in the following way:

    function onEdit(e) {
             
        //execute your custom logic to get the max value
        var maxValue = 5;
     
        //check if record is new
        if (e.model.isNew()) {
            //set the required field value
            e.model.set("OrderCount", maxValue + 1);
        }
    }

    Hi Vladimir,

    Thanks for the solution. I used the same code and it worked. but in my case, I want that field to be readonly, so the default value is calculated from the max +1 and set as new record inserted, displayed in grid, but user shouldn't be able to change that.

    I set the 'Editable(false)' to the model, but it actually breaks that code and new value doesn't applied. However the "DefaultValue" applied in Model wil continue working

    ex:
                    model.Field(p => p.SequenceNumber).Editable(false);  //There is a js function which filles that field but it fails to update
                    model.Field(p => p.ApprovalStateID).Editable(false).DefaultValue(1); // This works!

    Any thoughts?

    Hi Steffan,


    You should leave the field editable and use for example the Edit event of the Grid to find the needed input in the container and disable / remove it. Please check the example below:

    function onEdit(e) {
        e.container.find("[name=fieldName]").hide();
    }

    Are there limitations to using this technical? It does not work for me trying to set the foreign key column using the value from the grid above.

    Hello Patrick,

    No there are no limitations of using this approach - that why in current case I would suggest to inspect the editor template using your browser dev tools and adjust the jQuery selector in order to hide the correct element.
