Hi there,

Could someone see what's wrong with the following code? Using the editor extension, on inlining a cell, the post is always data[undefined][field_name] and the response is always blank because of this.

Many thanks!

Jo

    The undefined is because Editor doesn't know what the row's ID is (specifically this is used to track the primary key value so the server knows what row to edit, but it can also be the DOM id).

    If your table data were to contain DT_RowId for each row it would be detected automatically. I guess you aren't so you need to use idSrc to tell Editor where to get the id from (i.e. the property name).
