Inline Editing: Can't get updated value on blur event

dwc_ok

Hi All,

So after a user updates the inline editing input on my data table, I need to get the new value of what the user has entered so I can pass the resulting updated object to the preSubmit handler. But on blur, I can only get the original value. How do I get the updated value ?

Below is the code and some comments for more clarity (hopefully) . Thanks in advance for the help !

editor.inline(this, {
                  onBlur: function(e) {
        
                      console.log("UPDATED CELL IS:");
                      // Now I try and get the user updated value of the input we have blurred away from:

                      console.log(trade_browser_results_table.cell(current_td).data()); 
                   // The above only gets the original data, not the updated version                                

                      // But the following method DOES get the updated cell value:
                      let target_id = '#' + e.s.setFocus.s.opts.id; // this is the ID of the edited input, not the td cell

                      // The problem is, we are not supposed to use the "s" object, as it's private to Datatables !  
                      let updated_cell_value = $(target_id).val();

                      // So now what ? 


                      $current_edited_row = $(target_id).closest('tr');
                      updated_target_column = current_td.data("cell-col");

                      current_edited_row = trade_browser_results_table.row( current_row_index ).data();

                      //For whatever reason, if the user has deleted the data cell, revert it to the original value and don't submit.
                      if(updated_cell_value == ''){

                         editor.close();

                         revert_cell(current_td, selected_trade_attribute, target_id, $current_edited_row,  current_row_index);
                      }
                      else {
                         current_edited_row[selected_trade_attribute] = updated_cell_value;
                         editor.submit();
                      }

                       if ($current_edited_row.find('.cell_to_update').length < 1) {
                           $current_edited_row.removeClass('row_staged_for_edit');
                       }

                       if (!trade_browser_results_table.rows('.row_staged_for_edit').any()) {
                            $("#update_trades").prop('disabled', true);
                       }
                       else {
                            $("#update_trades").prop('disabled', false);
                       }
                    },

                    onComplete: 'close'
              });

Hi,

I'm not seeing an Editor license for your account and it looks like your trial ran out in June. Could you confirm your licensed account so I can make sure our records are correct please?

Regarding your question - you would use field().val() to get the value from the form.
