Grid dropdown column source updating from another dropdown column value

[vicalcazarParticipant]

I’m aware of the cascading editing example here:
http://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-demo/demos/jqxgrid/cascadingediting.htm?arctic

However, working with a grid with editmode: ‘selectedrow’ changing the first dropdown will not trigger initeditor for the second dropdown. Note, this is also the case when editmode is not selectedrow, while inserting and editing a new row.

JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/460rd769/

Is there anyway to manually trigger initeditor for the second column again?

Hello vicalcazar,

I am not sure what you want to achieve. Now in the demo second column (City) is depending from value of the first column (Country).
What would you like to choose independent options in City?

Sorry, I pasted the wrong JSFiddle.

Here is the correct one: http://jsfiddle.net/ybwd5nhy/2/

You will notice the City dropdown doesn’t update properly when the Country dropdown is changed.

Hello vicalcazar,

It is incorrect to use “editmode: ‘selectedrow’,” in this case. Why you need to set this?

Curious why the usage of editmode:selectedrow is in incorrect. Couldn’t find anything in the documentation regarding correct usage scenarios.

Using “edit:selectedrow” to prevent the source.updaterow() function from being called upon exiting each cell of the row. Only want it to be called once when the user exits the row, or hit enter.

Hello vicalcazar,

In this example first and second column are dependent. And for that reason need to has some value set there.
You could try to create some workaround. (‘cellbeginedit’ event and also ‘beginrowedit’ and ‘endrowedit’ methods could be useful)

Thanks Hristo, will try to create a custom workaround with those methods.

It would be nice for the framework to support the ability to delay calling source.updaterow() until the row loses focus. Especially when editing a new row.

Hi vicalcazar,

Do you try a workaround on it and do you have an exemple please ? I’m in the same case of you.
