[Solved] Remove All Data from Editable Field with Custom Button

[jeff]

Hi! I've made a custom button to replace the 'Delete' ('destroy') button in an inline editing grid - How do I delete the data with this button in a specific field?:

01.{ command: [
02.   { name: "edit" },
03.   {
04.       name: "Remove Notes",
05.       click: function(e) {
06.    var tr = $(e.target).closest("tr");
07.    var data = this.dataItem(tr);
08.
09.    var DelNotes = confirm('You wish to delete this stuff?');
10.    if (DelNotes == true) {
11.        confirm = data.FILE_DESC = 'Some Data Here...';
12.        //How do I delete the contents of the field data.FILE_DESC?
13.    } else {
14.        //No deletions here!
15.    }
16.
17.       }
18.   }
19. ], title: " ", width: "175px" }],

Thank you!

Hi Jeff,

You may use the set method of the model (dataItem).

var data = this.dataItem(tr);
data.set("FILE_DESC", "");

If you want to synchronize the changes with the server (in case you use remote transport) you should also call the saveChanges method.
