Table built-in checkable column vs. export form data [message #1834061]

Hi,
In my Scout 9 application I use hierarchical table with checkable column (built-in = getConfiguredCheckable() -> true - not my own column).

How to read only selected columns in the server module, after receiving data from a form with such a table?

Hi Krzysztof

You can define your own BooleanColumn in the table, which will then be added to the FormData (and is thus sent to the server). By overriding getConfiguredCheckableColumn() in your table, you can mark this column as the checkable column (no automatic UI-only column will be added). Would that help?

JavaDoc of getConfiguredCheckableColumn():

Configures the checkable column. The checkable column represents the check state of the row, i.e. if it is checkedor not. If no checkable column is configured, only the row itself represents if the row was checked or not.
Subclasses can override this method. Default is null.
Returns: A column class extending AbstractBooleanColumn that represents the row check state.

Regards,
Beat

Hi,
The idea of using getConfiguredCheckableColumn() did the job.
But I can see one significant visual difference.
The native checkable column is always displayed first, BEFORE the expanding hierarchy tree icons column. This is good solution.
However, using getConfiguredCheckableColumn() causes my own BooleanColumn display AFTER these icons, which is not good.
My other text column, where I would like the tree expand icons to be displayed, go to the right and no longer have these icons.

Can it be changed somehow?
