how to save rows form a grid without using selection upon updation

Certified Associate Developer

hi, 

I have an editable grid with 35 rows of data ( 5 columns editable), I have a requirement that given , if I edit something in any row , it should get saved in the database but shouldn't use any selection check box ,

there is only one button, that should save all the rows that are edited at one click 

I wanted to save only the rows that are edited . Each row has a primary key.Any idea or code samples will help

    You can try using a refresh variable with the same data for your grid data. The main local would contain your actual data and the second local would reference your 1st variable in a refreshVariable. call this refresh variable in the grid data and on the button click you save the difference() of your gridData and the 1st local variable. 

    local!variable1: rule!actualData(),
    local!variable2: a!refreshVariable(
      value: local!variable1,
      refreshAlways: false()
    ),
    a!gridLayout(a!foreach(items: local!variable2,expression:{})),
    a!buttonWidget(
      saveinto: a!save(
        ri!record,
        difference(local!variable2, local!variable1)
      )
    )
