App Builder - Update from Data Grid

tdickens

I'm struggling figuring out how to update a datagrid in App Builder.  

I see that there is an editable option to allow for a column to be changed.  But I can't figure out how to get an API that updates the data to fire.  I tried setting up an interaction on the datagrid.  I tried all of the Events option for datagrid.  There doesn't appear to be a way to set the Target Action to the update Data Service.

I also tried to add a button to the form.  And have an interaction of the datagrid event run the OnClick interaction for the button.  But I couldn't get that to work.

What is the proper way to update a data grid?  I looked at the documentation and it appears how to do this isn't addressed.

We currently have Infor EAM and our evaluating Cloud Suite Financials.  I'm trying to discover how to use the Infor development tools before we make the final decision on Cloud Suite Financials.

Thanks for your help.

I have this working.  Although I'm not sure if I did it the proper way.  Please let me know if there is a better way than what I did.

I added a button to the form.  The button has an interaction for the Update method.  I added Data Mapping to this interaction.

There is an interaction on the Datagrid for the "On Row Updated" event with a Target Action of the button.  I had to add Data Mapping to the interaction.  So I had to add Data Mapping twice.  Once one the button and a second time on the "On Row Updated" event.  Since the "On Row Updated" event executes the button - I think I shouldn't have to add the Data Mapping twice.

I also had to add an interaction for the button after the Update API method has run.  This is to reload the data in order to remove the change indicator that is shown in the datagrid column that was changed.

Finally, I hide the button so that the user won't see it.
