Support
#1

In a Browse-View i did insert a generated column with an EntityComboBox which i populate and set the selected item. All looks fine.

But, the new selected value is not stored in the entity. What to do ?

Best regards

Hello!

You can use inline editor to edit entity attributes in datagrid.
Here is a quick example how to do it: Inline editor sample

Hi
I am able to edit the way i want.

But finally the values should be saved in the database.

	@Autowired
	private DataContext dataContext;

	@Autowired
	private UiComponents uiComponents;

	@Autowired
	private Metadata metadata;

	private EntityComboBox<OrderState> picker = null;

	@Subscribe(id = "ordersesDc", target = Target.DATA_CONTAINER)
	public void onOrdersesDcItemChange(InstanceContainer.ItemChangeEvent<Orders> event)
	{
		ArrayList<OrderState> selectedState = new ArrayList<>(picker.getLookupSelectedItems());
		System.out.println("selected = " + selectedState.size() + ") " + selectedState.get(0).getState() + " " + selectedState.get(0).getDescription() );
		dataContext.commit();
	}

	@Autowired
	protected CollectionContainer<OrderState> orderStatesDc;

	@Install(to = "ordersesTable.orderState", subject = "columnGenerator")
	private Component ordersesTableOrderStateColumnGenerator(final Orders orders)
	{
		picker = uiComponents.create(EntityComboBox.class);
		picker.setMetaClass(metadata.getClass(OrderState.class));
		picker.setOptionsContainer(orderStatesDc);
		picker.setValue(orders.getOrderState());
		picker.setWidth("100px");
		return picker;
	}

In onOrdersesDcItemChange i should get the SelectedItem. But it is everytime the last item in the picker list. What am I doing wrong ?
