Editor Event

Description of problem: Hello all. I am trying to do something that seems simple but just doesn't seem to work. I have an editor instance with a custom form layout. In this layout is some static text and elements (legend, HR) that I want to start out hidden. I am using bootstrap and adding a class of d-none. This works well, except I cannot figure out how to remove the class once the editor form is open. I tried using the initEditor event remove the class once editor has fully been instantiated. Anyway, I cant get the event to fire. See above link. Shouldn't the example above print in the console when the form is displayed? I have tried using initEdit and it fires, but does not seem to allow me to remove or add a class to a static element. Thoughts?

Your example crashes when trying to edit a record.
It doesn't work either when you try to create a new record. Nothing is written to the console.

But if you replace:

$(document).on( 'initEditor', function ( e, inst ) {
    inst.on( 'opened', function () {
        console.log( 'Form displayed' );
        // ... add event handlers
    } );
} );

with

editor.on( 'opened', function () {
    console.log( 'Form displayed' );
    // ... add event handlers
} );

"Form displayed" is being written to the console - in case you are creating a new record.

Thanks for the answer. Not sure why InitEditor isn't firing. But 'opened' works like a charm.

I know in my example the edit doesn't work, and there is nothing running to make the new work, I was just using it as example of the form and the event.

"InitEditor" is supposed to be something extraordinary. Before you posted this I wasn't even aware that it existed

Glad you got this resolved!!

The event is initEdit not initEditor.

Hey Kevin! How are you? That was exactly my thinking! And then I found this:
