GridPlus - I probably need a related action to update only the edited recs

No, couldn't make Appian World this year, hoping to next time! And agreed, since the queryRule won't take locals, handling the key inside the editModel process is the way to go.

Well... the queryrule cannot use local vars, so update stamping is out... "This rule must explicitly define all values without relying on local variables." I guess the write / read at update proc model time is the way to go.

Wait a moment, I think I was updating the a!queryRecordType results incorrectly. Mea Culpa, this might work. Thanks again Shubham

These are all good thoughts, and it seems like it's close. Say, were you at Appian World this year?

Thanks!

I do have that tempKey added as a field on the edited recordtype, just the stamping part into the record is problematic for me because the queryRule seems to choke if I deviate even slightly from a straight up a!queryRecordType. (why I was saying it is all rigidly implemented ).

You can’t pass custom params to editModel , so stamp the known key onto each edited row before submit.

Add your known key as a field on each edited row before submit. The process then reads pv!record and runs both Write Records; one for the edited rows, one for the join rows.

Thanks Shubham!

Can I pass items to the editModel? It seems to only allow constant reference to proc model with no visible way to pass params:

Use GridPlus's edited records payload (via editModel), pass your known key as a process parameter, and in the same process do two Write Records calls (one for grid edits, one for join rows). No temp datastore needed.
