Field Set Value from a different location

nicoledramirez@hotmail.com

This calls out a computer name:

    var url = "/api/cdi_master/GetLogin";

        $.get(url, null, function (data) {
           $("#rData").val(data);
      
        });

Right now it passes to a location on my page but I would also like it to pass the value to User field in the editor below.

This is my editor code:

 var editor; // use a global for the submit and return data rendering in the examples

        $(document).ready(function () {

            editor = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor({
                "ajax": "/api/cdi_master",
                "table": "#example",
                "fields": [
        {

            label: "<div background-color=#004d99; layer-background-color:#004d99><b>Show Form Action:</b></font>",

                    name: "options",
      
            type: "radio",

            options: [ "Billing Status Only", "Add Reconciliation" ],
            def: "Billing Status Only"
        },
       {
           label: "Billing Status:",
           name: "cdi_details.billing_status",
           value: "cdi_billing_status.id",
           type: "radio"
       },
        
        { label: "Audit Status",
        name: "cdi_details.audit_status",
        value: "cdi_audit_status.id",
        type: "radio"
},
        
    {
        label: "User",
        name: "User"

    },

     {
         label: "Insurance:",
         name: "cdi_details.insurance_id",
         value: "cdi_insurance.id",
         type: "select"
     },
         {
             label: "Amount Billed",
             name: "cdi_details.amount_billed",
             def: "0.00"

         },
        {
             label: "Amount Received",
             name: "cdi_details.amount_received",
            def: "0.00"

        }, 
        {
            label: "Date Mailed",
            name: "cdi_details.date_mailed",
        type: "date",
         def: "00/00/0000"   
        },
        {
                label: "Optional Comments",
            name: "cdi_details.comment",
            type: "textarea"
        
        },

                ]
            });
         


            editor.dependent('options', function (val) {

                return val === 'Add Reconciliation' ?

            { show: ['cdi_details.insurance_id', 'cdi_details.amount_billed', 'cdi_details.amount_received', 'cdi_details.date_mailed'] } :
        { hide: ['cdi_details.insurance_id', 'cdi_details.amount_billed', 'cdi_details.amount_received', 'cdi_details.date_mailed'] }
               
           
               

                ;
        } );

Hi,

It sounds like you just want to add editor.set( 'User' ).val( data ); in your $.get callback (assuming that function is executed while the edit view is open).

I did try that (probably should have posted the correct syntax, sorry about that). But I think I am a little lost as to exactly where to place the statement while the edit view is open?

I guess the key question is, at what point is your $.get executed to get the user id? Is it at page load? In which case save the value into a variable and use the initCreate and initEdit events to set the field's value:

editor.on( 'initCreate initEdit', function () {
  editor.set( 'User' ).val( userId );
} );

It is executed based on the user clicking on the reconcile link:
var table = $('#example').DataTable( {
ajax: "/api/cdi_master",
deferRender: "true",
"columns": [

                {

                    "className":      'details-control',
                    "orderable":      false,

                    "data":           null,

                    "defaultContent": ''

                }, { data: "cdi_details.client_num" },
                  { data: "cdi_details.kindid" },
     { data: "cdi_master.simon" },
                    { data: "cdi_master.cdi_master_id" },
                    { data: "cdi_master.service_date" },
                   { data: "cdi_details.name" },
                   { data: "cdi_master.ClinicianName" },

                   { data: "cdi_details.service_class" },
                    { data: "cdi_details.service" },
                    {
                        "class": "left",
                        "data": "cdi_master.cdi_status_id",
                        "render": function (val, type, row) {
                            return val == 4 ? "Completed" : val == 5 ? "Needs Research" : val == 1 ? "To Be Processed" : val == 2 ? "Recalled" : val == 6 ? "In Progress" : val == 3 ? "Needs Attention" : ""
                        }
                    },
                     {

                         data: null, 

                         className: "center",

                         defaultContent: '<a href="" class="editor_edit">Reconcile</a>'

                     }

            ]
        })

Solved my own problem and posting for whoever needs something like this. Using editor.set will not work. The following does work :

            editor.edit('initEdit', function () {
                $.get(url, null, function (data) {
                    editor.field('User').def(data);

                });

            });

Thanks for posting back with your solution.
