Editor: Is there a way to send additional data when creating a record?

Madwik

I have a very simple table for company addresses (id, company_id, address). The DataTable shows "Company Name, Address". When I create a new record, I need include the company_id so that the address is added to the correct company.

Is there an easy way to append this to the form data that is submitted for a Create action?

Alternatively, I thought about to a doing something with postCreate() to update the newly created record, but this seems overly complicated.

Any ideas/assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Absolutely, you can either use a hidden field type, or use ajax.data to add additional data to that which Editor sends.

Excellent! I remembered it having something like ajax.data from a couple months ago, but I couldn't find it this morning. I really like the hidden field type.

Thanks again for a great tool!
