Grid Widget

[gbirnzain]

In Thingworx  9.3.0-b20 the grid widget offers editedData as well as deletedData as source bindable properties. In prior versions the grid had the data property bindable both ways, but now this is lost.

It was very convenient to bind to the data property as a source so that one had an exact view of the data by creating just one binding. Is there a plan to bring back this feature, or even easier, can I bind the current state of the infotable as a source with just one connection so that I can use the current state of the grid without having to implement the data manipulation services (edited, deleted)?

On twx 8.5 (still not have 9,x) the advanced grid widget has also just the editedtable and deletedTable output properties

those infotables will contain only the edited or deleted rows

There is not an output parameter for the whole  infotable (edited, and without deleted rows)

was not too complex however to manage this with a service that takes as input both parameters (edited and deleted) and will do an update or delete of rows on the original data source.

For sure ... a "ready" edited infotable as output param would makes easier to update the source ...  if it was for example a thing property, by linking and using setProperties

Hi @gbirnzain.

Can you provide the version where the behavior you describe was working?  We're not recalling this feature.

Regards.

ThingWorx 8.5.16-b898 

I tested this with an input infotable, and showing EditedTable and DeletedTable output into other grids

EditedTable is filled with just the changed riws

DeletedTable is filled with just deleted rows

I think this is how it is expected to work ...
