How to prepopulate rows into DataTable in Plumsail

jyou · July 26, 2021, 9:21pm

Hi there,

I would like to pre-populate more than one rows into the DataTable control. I have the following code but it only enables me to prepopulate one row into the DataTable after clicking on "Add new record".

fd.spRendered(function() {
//select DataTable control to prepopulate
var dt = fd.control('DataTable1');
var isNew = false;

dt.widget.wrapper.find('.k-grid-add').on('click', e => {
    isNew = true;
});

dt.widget.bind('edit', function(e) {
    if (isNew) {
        isNew = false;
        //set values for Column1 and Column2
        e.model.set('Agenda', '1) Down Payment received');
        e.model.set('Agenda', '2) Approved profile drawing(s) received');
        e.model.set('NOTES', 'Item 3');
        DataTable1.Rows[1][0] = "0"; 
    }
});

});

With the above code, I can achieve the following, but it is missing the '1) Down Payment received' :

I would like my dataTable to look like the following:

Any advice?
Thanks,

Dear @jyou,
It's actually much simpler for simple row population, the following would work:

fd.rendered(function(){
    var dt_rows = [];
    var row1 = {Column1: "Test A", Column2: "Hello, world!"};
    dt_rows.push(row1);
    var row2 = {Column1: "Test B", Column2: "Goodbye, blue sky"};
    dt_rows.push(row2);
    fd.control('DataTable1').value = dt_rows;
});

Thank you, your code works well. However, there are a lot of rows I would like to prepopulate into 12 different data tables.

I find that using your approach, the form would take too long to load or the form would not load the data table rows at all.

Please refer to my code below, is there a way for me to load the rows faster ?

fd.spRendered(function(){

var dt_rows_m3 = [];
var row = {Agenda: "1) Down Payment received"};
dt_rows_m3.push(row);
var row = {Agenda: "2) Approved profile drawing(s) received"};
dt_rows_m3.push(row);

Please advise, thank you.

Dear @jyou,
Not really, maybe you can shorten it a little, like this:

fd.rendered(function(){
    var dt_rows = [
      {Column1: "Test A", Column2: "Hello, world!"},
      {Column1: "Test B", Column2: "Goodbye, blue sky"}
    ];
    fd.control('DataTable1').value = dt_rows;
});

Please see the error message:

I have tried deleting and re-adding datatable control, but after I reload the form for many times, the rows in Datatable just disappear.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Dear @jyou,
Take a look at this error:

Seems like there is an error somewhere else in the JavaScript code, as I've tried this code and it seems to work properly.

Try to remove the rest of the code from the form and test just this.

I have fixed the error in JS as mentioned above, however I am still facing the issue when I reload the form many times or re-open the form, the rows in DataTable disappear. Please advise:

I need to prepopulate the rows for 14 different datatables based on my form design, please refer below (each datatable for each tab (M3- M12)): However, the pre-population of rows stopped working after the "M8" tab. Is it because there is too much data going into datatables?

Please refer to the following error message:

Please advise.

Hello @jyou,

First, place all code within one spRendered function.

Also, check the internal name of the Data Table control in the ninth tab. And as you have multiple controls, it is a good idea to check that the control is fully loaded before populating it. Add ready() event to all Data Table controls.

As I understand this is the part of the code where the script breaks.

fd.control('DataTable9').value = dt_rows_m8;
});
//remove extra even handler
fd.spRendered(function() {
 var dt_rows_m9 = [
   {Agenda: "1) M8 Action Items completed"},
   {Agenda: "2) Received test material" },
   {Agenda: "3) Completed tensile testing of test material"},
   {Agenda: "4) Completed test meeting"},
   {Agenda: "5) Processed drawing corrections and ECRs"},
   {Agenda: "6) Identified remaining items in FAB"},
   {Agenda: "7) Identified remaining items in Purchasing" },
   {Agenda: "8) Submitted M9 VOC to Customer"},
   {Agenda: "9) Reviewed project timing and mitigated schedule issues" , NOTES: "(Refer to Gantt chart X:/2.0 Project Management/2.5 Project Planning)"},
   {Agenda: "10) Reviewed Master Cost Budget Analysis"},
   {Agenda: "11) Progress payments up-to-date"}
];
//check the internal name of the control
//add ready event to make sure the control is fully loaded
fd.control('DataTable10').ready().then(function(){
    fd.control('DataTable10').value = dt_rows_m9;
});

@mnikitina @Nikita_Kurguzov Thank you for your support, my code is working fine now, as expected.

katy · September 20, 2024, 1:15pm

@mnikitina is there a way to prepopulate with the value from another field? I tried
Column2: fd.field('FieldName').value
Column2: (fd.field('FieldName').value)
Column2: fd.field('FieldName').value()
Column2: (fd.field('FieldName').value())
Column2: [FieldName]
None of it works - it does not put the number from the field into that cell.

Hello @katy

FORM
BUTTON setting:
JS

window.addValue = () => {
  const title = fd.field("Title").value;
  const dt = fd.control("DataTable1");
  const objToAdd = {
    Column2: title,
  };

  dt.value.push(objToAdd);
};

When the button is clicked and I filled in data to "Title" field:
when I change Title fields with another value and click button:

Is this good enough or you need anything else?
Regards
Stepan

katy · September 21, 2024, 10:12pm

Hello @StepanS that is a great solution, but kinda not good for my scenario
When a user opens the form (it is Edit form so the information is already saved) I need the first raw in the data table to be already prepopulated. So it should be done on Edit form loading. I have the following code:

fd.rendered(function(){
    var dt_rows = [];
    var row1 = {Column1: "1"};
    dt_rows.push(row1);
    fd.control('FA').value = dt_rows;
});

but I need to add info into Column2 from another field on the form (that is saved already) Your solution is perfect for the New form and I will definitely remember it for the future, I am sure that it would be useful! Sorry for not specifying about Edit form in my reply earlier

StepanS · September 22, 2024, 6:49am

Hello @katy ,
OK, it should work the same way. When the Edit Form is loaded

fd.spRendered(() {});

Inside this function, you can have the same logic behind.

fd.spRendered(() => {
  const title = fd.field("Title").value;
  const dt = fd.control("DataTable1");
  const objToAdd = {
    Column2: title,
  };

  dt.value.push(objToAdd);
});

I do not understand what is wrong, I think you go it You got the code, so just change "Column1" to "Column2" and it must be working

My code above is working exactly as you described on editForm. If I have saved data in "title" I can populate Data Table with this field to Column2
Stepan

katy · September 23, 2024, 6:02pm

Hi @StepanS Thank you for the code, it does populate it but on the second raw:

How can I combine those two codes so all the data will be in one raw?
Also when I reopen the form for editing again another raw is populated and that is not what I need

fd.rendered(function(){
    var dt_rows = [];
    var row1 = {PYear: "1"};
    dt_rows.push(row1);
    fd.control('FA').value = dt_rows;
});

fd.spRendered(() => {
    const title = fd.field("Variance2CEW").value;
    const dt = fd.control("FA");
    const objToAdd = {
    VolProj: title,
  };

  dt.value.push(objToAdd);
});

Sorry, I am not a real developer and usually just use logic to compile and adjust the code samples

StepanS · September 24, 2024, 7:32am

Hello @katy
It is a bit tricky. I would like to tell that when you always need to edit first row, it is okay with this code, but:

fd.control("DataTable1").value[0].Column2 = "{Your value}"

So you can control on which row (first) you edit Column2 with the value, but the value does not show until you click inside the cell.

Sorry, I probably cannot help you. I tried several approaches how to push data inside a row which already exists (the first row) - the data is pushed to the column, but I do not see it until I click inside the cell.

Maybe someone from Plumsail could help with this topic
Stepan

katy · September 24, 2024, 8:17pm

Thank you @StepanS ! I really liked your solution with the bottom!
I'll wait for Plumsail to respond

katy · September 26, 2024, 2:20am

@mnikitina @Nikita_Kurguzov - could you please provide any input on how to pre-populate the column in the data table (on the Edit form) with the field value (that has already been entered and saved in New form?

mnikitina · September 26, 2024, 7:57am

Hello @katy,

You can set the row data with this code:

//get data of the first row
var row = fd.control('Control1').widget.dataSource.data()[0]
//set column1 value
row.set("Column1", "new value")

katy · September 26, 2024, 2:03pm

Sorry @mnikitina - this is not working
I have the following code on Edit form:

fd.rendered(function(){
    var dt_rows = [];
    var row1 = {Column1: "1"};
    dt_rows.push(row1);
    fd.control('FA').value = dt_rows;
});

I need to populate Column2 with a value from the field that is already on the form completed and saved. I tried adding it as
Column2: fd.field('FieldName').value
Column2: (fd.field('FieldName').value)
Column2: fd.field('FieldName').value()
Column2: (fd.field('FieldName').value())
Column2: [FieldName]
into the line:
var row1 = {Column1: "1", Column2: fd.field('FieldName').value};
but it doesn't work.

I added your code above but it stops to add the line altogether

mnikitina · September 27, 2024, 5:23am

@katy,

You can get the value from another field on the form like this:

//get data of the first row
var row = fd.control('Control1').widget.dataSource.data()[0]
//set column1 value
row.set("Column1", fd.field('FieldName').value)

Where have you placed the code I've shared? Why do you add a new row? I thought you need to update the existing row.
