createField

[caffeine]

Hi, I'm trying to create a date field that is not in the entityDefs for a sidepanel, I'm using:

this.createField('exportDate', null, null, 'Fields.DatetimeShort'); 

and:

createField: function (name, type, params, view) {            
            type = type || this.model.getFieldType(name) || 'base';        
            this.createView(name, view || this.getFieldManager().getViewName(type), {
                model: this.model,
                defs: {
                    name: name,
                    params: params || {}
                },
                el: this.options.el + ' .cell-' + name,
                mode: 'list'
            });
            
        }, 

But I'm always getting a 'None' result, what I'm missing?

Thanks

What value is in model's exportDate attribute. console.log(model.get('exportDate')). Is it defined?

[caffeine]

No, it seems that it's not defined, I get side.js error.

[yuri]

You get None because field is not set?

[caffeine]

You are correct, I added to my json:

"exportDate": {
            "type": "datetime",
            "required": false,
            "notStorable": true,
            "db": false
        } 

and call with:

this.createField('exportDate', false); 

It's possible to force the field into "Edit Mode", I have to click the pencil everytime I need to edit it.

Thank you for your help.

Something strange happens with the date:

For example I set the date to: 08.10.2014 17:00

When I log the date I got: 2014-10-08 15:00:00

For some reason I get 2 hours less when I log it, I assume that has something to do with my timezone.

Date is stored in system format and UTC Timezone, and converted for view using DateTime class and moment lib.

It's possible to force the field into edit mode instead of clicking on the pencil everytime?

Thanks

mode: 'edit'
