Troubleshooting a Complex Editable Grid

1. Your rule input consists of recordType I guess and your casting using a dot notation which would not work.

2. Id parameter in the grid row layout is missing.

3. In add row link please use a record type save. (Sorry for misleading with the null.)

Hi KevinQP,

made some changes in your code . there is no point having [fv!index].

I use a freeware tool called GreenShot. You can map it to the PrintScreen button (or any other available hotkey) and it gives you a screen-area selection tool, then opens that selection in a mini editor where you get options like arrows, highlight, obfuscation, and borders.

You don't need to put fv!index in your value and save into as such

fv!item.unitPrice[fv!index]

remove the second grid row layout. Try saving a null or a recordType value.
a!save(ri!Item, append(ri!Item, recordType!value())

not to be too nitpicky but i would suggest you revise one more time and paste in your original code with indentation in-tact; that's one of the things a Code Box most enhances about readability here. Also (personal preference) I select "Java" from the syntax highlighting drop-down; in the absence of a "SAIL" or "Appian Expression" option there, it at least adds some visual distinction to pasted Appian code.

RE: Troubleshooting a Complex Editable Grid

KevinQP — Thu, 18 Jan 2024 20:31:27 GMT

Hello Konduru, fixed just now and also yes I have read that particular set of documentation, but I'm struggling to accurately identify which part is broken. Could it just be that I need to add the index function variable to the "id"?

RE: Troubleshooting a Complex Editable Grid

Mike Schmitt — Thu, 18 Jan 2024 20:29:25 GMT

This will be much more readable if you provide a cleanly pasted code box with indentaion in-tact.

(edit: sorry, Konduru beat me to it while i was still typing. leaving my comment here tho lol)

RE: Troubleshooting a Complex Editable Grid

Konduru Chaitanya — Thu, 18 Jan 2024 20:27:12 GMT

Hello KevinQP,

Could you please insert your could in this way that would improve the readability. besides have you taken a look at this? looks like you have a duplicate grid row layout in your foreach and you can use your ri!item type for your save instead of map.
