    Hi Shahid, happy to hear that! Enabling/disabling sorting is not currently a feature for each column. I can let you know if anything changes. Thanks.

  • v2.1.0 Release Notes
    • New Features:
    • Row parameter is now bidirectional: data presented in the grid, including any modifications, can now be stored in a local variable by the rowsSaveInto parameter.
    • ReadOnly parameter: securityGroups parameter has been replaced with a readOnly parameter. Define visibility rules by assigning SAIL expressions to this parameter.
    • Column Widths: Each column configuration object now receives a value for colWidth. This value determines the initial width of a column in the grid.
    • Bug fixes:
    • Newly created rows can be updated and deleted before saving.
    • Invalid numeric percentage format has been removed.
    • Dropdown column configuration type can now be set to strict: true without the custom validator overwriting the validation.
    • Validation logic is applied on empty or newly added cells.
    • Security improvements.
    • ***When updating this Grid+ Component Plug-In, ensure the associated Grid+ Helper plug-in is also updated to version 2 or later. See the attached migration guide for guidance on how to update your grid's configuration for this new version.

    Hi Omar, 

    Sorry about that! The errors should be resolved now, but let me know if you're still facing issues please.

  • There seems to be a problem with the sample app. I see import errors when I try it out

  • in reply to mohammed.naqvi

    Hi Mohammed! This component was designed for records in the Data Fabric. It has not been tested with CDTs.

  • Can any functionality be used for CDTs?
