Is there a way possible to add incrementing values when using .create for rows for differnt values

Aryan1703

 table.button().add(
            null, {
            text: 'Create Entries',
            action: function (e, dt, node, config) {
                editor
                    .create(15, {
                        title: 'Create Entry',
                        buttons: 'Add',
                        formOptions: {
                            main: {
                                onSubmit: function (e, action) {
                                    action.submit();
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    })
                    .set('editdeliveredBy', 0)
                    .set('R.createdOn', createdOn)
                    .set('R.departTime',  )
                    .submit();
                table.button(3).enable(false);
            },
        });

I am creating 15 duplicated entries over here but what i am looking for is i want to add time to R.departTime whose value should be increasing like row 1: 6:05, row 2: 6:10, row 3: 6:15 and such on till 6:45. But, the rest of the data remains same for all 15 rows

This example from this thread should help.

It's uses field().multiSet() to add different values to the different record.

          editor.field( 'position' )
            .multiSet( 0, 'first' )
            .multiSet( 1, 'second' )
            .multiSet( 2, 'third' );

It's only adding different strings in that example, but the same principle would apply when adding a different time offset.

Thank you, that helped. I used a loop to add differnt time

  // Loop to set departTime for each entry
            for (var i = 0; i < 15; i++) {
                // Calculate the departTime for this entry
                var departTime = new Date(startTime);
                departTime.setMinutes(startTime.getMinutes() + i * increment);
                
                // Set departTime for this entry
                editor.field('R.departTime').multiSet(i, departTime.getHours() + ':' + ('0' + departTime.getMinutes()).slice(-2));
            }

Also, another thing when i press the button to create the entries the editor modal shows up for about 2-3 seconds and then disappears. Is there a way we can prevent that and just create the entries.

When you call create() you can tell it not to show:

editor.create(15, false, {
  ...
});
