Form not saved when nothing is changed [message #1065109]

Hi,

I have a form. In the prepareCreate method of the corresponding service we fill the formadata. Sometimes this is exactly what the user wants so he just has to press the OK button. But nothing is saved then because nothing is changed by the user. Can I mark the data unsaved to force the data being saved?

Regards Bertin

You could use the org.eclipse.scout.rt.client.ui.form.IForm.touch() method, it will "touch" the form so that a save is needed.

I assume you call the Service from

AbstractFormHandler.execLoad

Scout calls markSaveNeeded(false) on all fields after the execLoad phase.

In your case (as in almost all prepareCreate cases)
make the Service call from within

AbstractFormHandler.execPostLoad

verify with the javadoc of these methods that this is what you need.

Does this solve your issue?

Also consider using

IFormField.touch

in case you have mixed and very complex gui logic.

Using IFormField.touch inside the AbstractFormHandler.execPostLoad method worked for me,

thanks.
