Set Tags Default Value?

ITAppData@HomeStreet.com

Using Editor 2.4.1, I am attempting to set a default value for the tags. My initial attempt was to simply use the option def as below:

{ label: "Branch Size", name: "Branches.BranchSize_Id", type: "tags", multiple: false, def: modelID  }

This results in the field simply stuck on the processing icon, and not displaying the value:

So I figured maybe def isn't supported, and attempted the following code to set the value using the initCreate event as below:

  editor.on("initCreate", function () {
    this.set("Branches.BranchSize_Id", modelID);
    console.log(editor.field("Branches.BranchSize_Id").val());
});

However, this results in the same behavior.

Interestingly if I write the value of the field in either situation...it appears that it did set and returns the value. It just doesn't seem to update the display.

Backend code for the options is simple enough, and the value being set is a valid value in the list:

                        editor.Field(
                            new Field("Branches.BranchSize_Id").Options(
                                new Options().Table("BranchSizes")
                                    .Value("Id")
                                    .Label("Name")
                                    .Where(q => q.Where("InactiveDate", null)).
                        Order(false)).
                        SetFormatter(Format.NullEmpty()))
                        ;

Thanks for your assistance

Sorry, I don't have an answer to your question just a couple debug info gathering suggestions. Take a look at the browser's console to see if there are errors reported. Use the browser's network inspector to view the JSON response when the issue occurs. Post both here for Allan to take a look.

Thanks @kthorngren - no errors in the console and the JSON comes back as I would expect.

I can PM the JSON return if you'd like

I'd have expected def to work. Can you give me a link to the page in question please?

Unfortunately the page is internal and not accessible outside the org. I can put together a test with our JSON return, though I'm not sure how to do so with including Editor?

Tried to create a very simple test case, but it appears the editor files available for using on live.datatables.net may be out of date. Giving an error that "tags" is an unknown field type

Ah, sorry, I've updated the location of the files on the site. I'll get the live page updated for that. In the meantime I've updated your example: https://live.datatables.net/jecehixe/4/edit .

The default value appears to be working there.

Thanks @allan

That example does seem to be working, just curious then if it's specific to my environment or my data then

Is there any way to create an editor that would work on StackBlitz? Then I could test using the JSON that is returned from our process. Or if you know how to get the live.datatables.net to utilize a JSON response that is local?

Thanks for your assistance

Not at the moment I'm afraid - it is domain locked.

Or if you know how to get the live.datatables.net to utilize a JSON response that is local?

You could use ajax as a function and have it pass the JSON to the callback function.

Thanks for the assistance as always @allan

I managed to get my JSON loaded up in the test https://live.datatables.net/jecehixe/6/edit

This is helpful.

As far as my issue goes, it turns out it's because of a data type problem in the Model that I'm reading into the default value

Fixing that got it working as expected.

Ah - nice find. Good to hear you've got it working now!
