Apply scenario on inline edit in table - palantir-foundry

Is it possible to apply to a scenario an inline edit action on a table widget?
I don't see the "Apply to scenario" toggle like in the button widget configuration.
Note: My table widget is based on a scenario.

So actually if you turn on the 'Load Data From Scenarios' toggle, and set the variable to your active scenario, any inline edits will be written to the scenario not the write-back.

Highlight the newly added row in clr-datagrid

I have used clarity UI in my project and i have come across an issue where i want to select the row which is currently added to the clr-datagrid table .I've used clr-DgSelected directive and it gives me a select checkbox which i don't need and if i use [(clrDgSingleSelected)]="selectedUser" this will give me a radio option and it lets me to select the particular column with the radio option checked but the problem is not the radio button or checkbox i just want to highlight the newly added row how i can achieve this.
Any help would be appreciated Thank You
Since Clarity doesn't have the concept of a newly added row, you need to add that concept yourself. Each record could have a isNew or showHighlight property that would allow you to add a CSS class that will highlight it
<clr-dg-row *ngFor="let user of users" [class.highlight]="user.isNew">
<clr-dg-cell>{{user.id}}</clr-dg-cell>
<clr-dg-cell>{{user.name}}</clr-dg-cell>
<clr-dg-cell>{{user.creation | date}}</clr-dg-cell>
<clr-dg-cell>{{user.color}}</clr-dg-cell>
</clr-dg-row>

Some part of my Django form should change based on TypedChoiceField list selection

I am new to Django. I have a requirement where in based on the TypedChoiceField list selection some part of the form should be changed. Meaning for a particular selection I need some fields to be displayed on the webpage and for other selection I need some other fields to be displayed on the webpage.
If there is already a similar page existing, please point me to that page, it will help me a lot.
What I would do is set up a javascript static file (here's a tutorial) that hides and shows elements using the select method.
For example, if you had categories that each needed a different set of fields, you could put all your categories into a <select> element and then using some simple JS, display the desired fields:
$("#select_object").change(function () {
toggleFields();
});
In that case, #select_object would be that <select> element. Whenever it changes (the user selects something) it shows the fields you want.

Many editable items on a single page

I have a page where a user can edit a large (~) amount of small items with a very few options, like remove, turn off, turn on and edit name of the item.
I don't know why but the current approach I'm using does not give me the "good code" feeling. I create a form for each action on each item, so I have like 3 forms per item. I feel like forms were meant to submit larger amounts of information.
Fortunately, I found the form* attributes html5 offers (HTML5, yayy!) that kind of allow for this. I created a single delete form on the page and then on each item I added a button, outside of the form.
<button type="submit" form="delete_form" name="item-id" value="1">Delete</button>
Unfortunately that is not the case with the edit-name form. If I add a single form on the page, then have input elements for the name on every item, like
<input name="item-name" type="text" form="update_form"/>
<button type="submit" form="update_form" name="item-id" value="1">Update</button>
...
<input name="item-name" type="text" form="update_form"/>
<button type="submit" form="update_form" name="item-id" value="2">Update</button>
Then on the landing page, item-name will always be the last input's value. I haven't tested this but I am assuming that when submitting the form all input fields pointing to that form with their form attribute are being collected and sent, then on the other side they are all being processed and I'm getting the last one since they all have the same name and are being overwritten.
How, if at all, can I have only a certain input be submitted, depending on which button was clicked, instead of all?
Notice: I can think of hacky ways like including the item id in the input name but it doesn't seem right, also what if there is no id at all.
If a specific button should only post a specific input, then making separate forms sounds like the right way to go.
Your assumption is right, by the way, so another solution would be to put all inputs in the same form, but give them different names, indeed based on an item id. Adding a unique ID or name is the right way to go. After all, how would you know what you are editing if you have no ID? Currently the ID is in the button too, right? You need it.
Anyway, with such a form you can save them all with one click on a submit button.
From a UX perspective, maybe that's a better approach too. Now you would have to do and save each edit separately, which results in a page refresh, which can be annoying and slow.
I would make a form in two versions.
Non-Javascript
The basic form shows all the items to edit, each followed by a group of radio buttons that allow you to update, delete, turn on, or turn off the item.
The form has one big submit button that posts the entire form. All items are updated or their state is changed depending on the radio buttons.
This way, a user can relatively easily edit all items and post their changes without a lot of page refreshes.
JavaScript additions
Using JavaScript/JQuery, you can modify the form. Change the radio buttons to normal buttons and perform the action using AJAX, but only for the item they belong. The big button at the end can be removed, and the form can be altered so it doesn't submit anymore. This way, a user has a rich interaction without the nuisance of the page being constantly reloaded.

MVC - override validation when one particular button is clicked

I have a table that lists items. I have a form tag that surrounds this table. In this table I have ADD buttons that adds new rows to the database. I have EDIT buttons that edits a row as well. The form posts to the same action on the controller.
Now I need to add a filter row on the first which means I need to add a Filter button to submit the form with the filter parameters. Since this is still inside the main form, I now have the following problem: When I click the Filter button, the inputs that are used for the ADD button are being validated before anything gets posted. How can I prevent the validation from occurring when the user clicks the Filter button?
Make sure the Filter button is of type "button" not "submit" and do filter using ajax
As i see it, the easy way would be to fire the submit via js with:
.submit();
The other way would be to disable validation on that form with this:
$('#form').validate({
onsubmit : false
});
or
$('#form').unbind('submit')
I have one suggestion. Name Add button inputs differently and add row using javascript/ajax. When posting, Add button inputs will not be validated because they have different names

It is possible to add to Unordered List during runtime

I have a simple HTML page with an Unordered list. Is it possible to have an input field where you could add more to the list and it would be saved after you submitted it. What I would like to add would be the content inside of an <li> tag as well as the <li> tags themselves.
Thanks,
Here is a jsfiddle with a demo of what I think you want to achieve: http://jsfiddle.net/mvJNq/25/
Note that I can not answer as to how you should do this on the server, as that depends on how your serverside code, database etc is set up. However, if all you want is to display it as HTML and not have it saved as the user navigates away, you won't need the Submit button at all - then you just need the "Add" functionality.
Yes, it is possible - no, it will not be pretty. Here is what you would do:
create your base form with any default list items/inputs
use jQuery/JavaScript to bind an event handler to a button that you click when you want to add another item (alternatively, you could skip this step and just have another item appear by default)
on your event (be it checking that all input boxes have user-entered text, or the click event in step two) add another list item using jQuery.append(...)
ensure that you have a hidden input field to be used as a "counter" to keep track of the total number of list items and increment the value of this counter each time you add a new list item (note: you may need to use the ParseInt() method, depending on how you design the code for this field)
the page that is receiving the form's inputs should first read the hidden field so that it knows how many items to add, and then you should loop through the items (for or while loop) to add them correctly
Note: I don't know what Server-Side language you are using to handle receiving the form so step 5 is a fairly generic and universally viable option
Sure, it's possible.
The complexity of this comes in when you want to "save" the items. If the user leaves the page and comes back later will that data be available? If so, you will need a database like mySQL or similar. The li tags can be stored as well, but why?
If you just need that information available in that session you can store in a JavaScript variable and have it loop through the variable and spit them out as <li>'s
If you did want to use an add button instead of submit:
$('#addButton').click(function(){
var savedContent = $('#input').val();
}
To create + insert the <li>you can use javascript to create the element and append it to the ul. If you have more than one ul change the index:
var content = document.createElement('li');
content.innerText = savedContent;
document.getElementsByTagName('ul')[0].appendChild(content);
