Hi Team,
In an editable flex pivot, how can I get only the modified (dirty) rows ? Is there any API method for this ?
I want to avoid iterating over entire report to find out the modified rows.
Functionality we want to implement is saving the modified rows to the server.
Thanks
Ganesh

Hello, Ganesh,
Thank you for writing to us.
Please have a look at the docs for datachanged event, which is triggered after the user edits data.
Does it help in your case?

Tanya

Hi,
Thanks for the doc, editing is working as mentioned, but I want only some of the columns to be editable (now all columns are editable).
Also I want to get all the modified rows in one go (in an array or something), now it notifies about changes in a single row at a time.
Regards
Ganesh

Hello Ganesh,
Thank you for your feedback.
For now, the component does not allow enabling the editing only for some columns. If the feature is enabled it is applied to all columns. Could you please specify how critical this feature is for you?
Speaking about getting modified rows, our developers see the following solution. We can add the ondrillthroughclose event which is triggered when the drill through window is closed. In such case, you will need to accumulate changed rows into some property using datachanged event and then you can send that property to the server after the ondrillthroughclose event is triggered.
Please let us know if the suggested approach works for you.

Hi Dmytro,
Enabling editing only for some columns is quite critical for us because we need to port an existing table to flexmonster
where there are some columns which should not be editable.
We need this feature only for flat table since we are using only this option.
Thanks

Hello, Ganesh,
Thank you for your feedback!
The feature of enabling editing only for some columns can be implemented as a customization project. Our Client Service Manager will contact you via email with more details.

Hi Team,
In datachanged() event, I need to retrieve also the old value.
Is it possible to do this ?
Thanks

Hello, Ganesh,
Thanks for your reply.
Currently, you can retrieve only the new value in the datachanged event.
We can add the ability to retrieve the old value in the minor release 2.5.4 (ETA Jun 4).
Does it work for you?

Tanya

Hi Tanya,
Thanks for the reply. Can we try to get it earlier ? because we have our release
planned in the next month and getting the said functionality earlier will help us a lot.
Thanks

Hi Team,
Earlier when this question was asked, the component did not allow enabling the editing only for some columns. If the feature was enabled it was applied to all columns.
Is this feature implemented now?

Hi, i´m needing the feature of edit only some columns on a grid. Is that available yet?.
If it is not, how can I get the value of a string from an input that is customized on a cell?

Hi, Leonel,
Thank you for your questions.
We would like to kindly inform you that currently, editing only specific columns is not supported.
Please let us know how critical this feature is for you.
Regarding your second question:
Our team suggests to have a look at the datachanged event, which is triggered after the user edits data. It allows getting the row number (or ID column), the unique name of the hierarchy, new value, and the old value of a cell.
Please let us know if it helps.
Do not hesitate to contact us in case further assistance is needed.
Kind regards,
Milena

Hi, Actually I did resolve that problem by enabling the editing option when the user clicks any cell in the column it has to be editable and updating all the table again after the datachanged event is triggered. It will be very easier and comfortable if you could make only specific columns editable for the user.
Thank you for answering me.
