Also, don't forget to create a constant to hold the reference to the CDT so you can access the view.

If you are not on 17.2 you will need to use a!applyComponents(). You will also need to create a rule for your grid row layout. The following SAIL recipe gives an example of how to do this: docs.appian.com/.../recipe_add_edit_and_remove_data_in_an_inline_editable_grid.html

Thanks Josh,

We are not in 17.2 yet.

There can be a use case, when your view returns duplicate Primary Key value (which is rare), when you go for pagingGrid, it will throw an error, because pagingGrid expects unique identifier, so in such cases we need to go for editable grid with readOnly field.

Now when we talk about hardcoding, as per my understanding a!forEach() function which was released in 17.2 version, will be the best choice as Josh already have explained above.

Hope this will help you.

You can leverage a!forEach() to avoid hardcoding the grid rows:

=load(
  local!items: {
    {item: "Item 1", qty: 1, unitPrice: 10},
    {item: "Item 2", qty: 2, unitPrice: 20}
  },
  a!gridLayout(
    label: "Grid Layout",
    instructions: "This is a grid layout",
    headerCells: {
      a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Item"),
      a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Qty", align: "RIGHT"),
      a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Unit Price", align: "RIGHT"),
      a!gridLayoutHeaderCell(label: "Total", align: "RIGHT")
    },
    rows: a!forEach(
      items: local!items,
      expression: a!gridRowLayout(
        contents: {
            a!textField(
            value: index(fv!item, "item", null),
            saveInto: fv!item.item
          ),
          a!integerField(
            value: index(fv!item, "qty", null),
            saveInto: fv!item.qty,
            align: "RIGHT"
          ),
          a!floatingPointField(
            value: index(fv!item, "unitPrice", null),
            saveInto: fv!item.unitPrice,
            align: "RIGHT"
          ),
          a!textField(
            value: dollar(tointeger(index(fv!item, "qty", 0)) * todecimal(index(fv!item, "unitPrice", 0))),
            readOnly: true,
            align: "RIGHT"
          )
        }
      )
    )
  )
)

Hi, You mean database view. If so, can you tell why you want to show in editable grid ?
