[Solved] Inline Grid edit not recognizing an erased Date value as a modification

[Christopher Ronak]

Hi,

I'm using the inline edit mode to modify the contents of a grid. All is working great except that there doesn't seem to be a way to erase a date value once it's been entered. Here's some detail on the workflow:

• Enter a date value in a DateTime field in the grid using the date picker
• Click on SubmitChanges and it saves fine
• Go back to that same date value and erase it by deleting the text. Hit enter.
• In the OnSave event, it doesn't register as having been edited, so doesn't get saved on a SubmitChanges call

Thanks for any help

Hi Chris,

This behavior is expected if you are using InCell editing. The Grid won't set the value if the current value is a date and the new value is not a valid one. You can avoid this by using the OnSave client-side event to modify the current value not to be date and different than null e.g.

function onSave(e) {
    if (e.values.TheDateMemberName === null) {
        e.dataItem.TheDateMemberName = '';
    }
}

Kind regards,
