Add rows to subform

[marc]

Hey,

I created a form that contains a subform grid. Upon loading the edit screen, I run a script to add some additional rows to the subform.

Like this:

Code: Select all

nuAddRow('sub_grid' );
nuAddRow('sub_grid' );
nuAddRow('sub_grid' );
nuAddRow('sub_grid' );
nuAddRow('sub_grid' );

But just one row is added, not 5!

Test done with a nuBuilder Form: Same result!

Code: Select all

nuAddRow('accform' );
nuAddRow('accform' );
nuAddRow('accform' );
nuAddRow('accform' );

How do I prepopulate more than one row?

marc,

It works for me - but only if the first control is a not a lookup object. It seems to be a glitch.

Workaround: add a dummy input field as first element in the grid with width = 0 and disabled = false.

marc,

It works for me as well.

@Steven:
and you tried it on a subform where the first element is a lookup object?
(see my example above, access level screen, forms grid)

@toms: WIll give it a go unless there's a patch.

Timo, yes the issue only occurs when the the first object in a grid row is a lookup object.

If you add several rows in one go, only 1 row will be added:

Code: Select all

nuAddRow('accform' );
nuAddRow('accform' );
nuAddRow('accform' );
nuAddRow('accform' );
nuAddRow('accform' );

Eg. if you add a timeout before adding a new row, all rows will be added.

Code: Select all

var d  = 50;
for (i = 0; i < 20; i++) { 
  setTimeout(function() {
  nuAddRow('accform' );
}, d);
d += 50;
}

@Steven Have you been able to reproduce this bug?

marc,

No, I can't.

It works for me on Access Levels > Form Tab (which starts with a Lookup).

Hi,

I got the latest from Gihub. Still one row is added, although I add several. I also recorded a Video so you could see it visually.

I also tried it on your demo site https://demo.nubuilder.net/ with the same result.

marc,

It seems the process of loading a lookup in a new row (which may need data from the server) means you may need to pause between running nuAddRow().

I would just use toms workaround.

Well, the adding works well if the lookup is not the first element in the row. That's why I think there's another reason.
