Refresh Repeating Panel

[IRM]

I’m trying to add a new row (form) to a datagrid using a repeating panel template. I can append the items list of the repeating panel and confirm the addition via a print statement, but what I can’t get to happen is a refresh of the datagrid to show the new row (form). You can see I’ve tried a few things (commented out in the below):

 alert("You said you want to insert a New LAST Row")
      #self.techncial_notes_tasks_data_grid.add_component({'item_number_column': '26', 'comment_column': '', 'action_column': '', 'owner_column': '', 'target_date_column': '', 'date_completed_column': '',})
      self.technical_notes_repeating_panel.items.append({'item_number_column': '26', 'comment_column': '', 'action_column': '', 'owner_column': '', 'target_date_column': '', 'date_completed_column': '',})
      print(self.technical_notes_repeating_panel.items[24])
      print(self.technical_notes_repeating_panel.items[25])
      #self.technical_notes_repeating_panel.parent.raise_event('x-refresh')
      #self.techncial_notes_tasks_data_grid.parent.raise_event('x-refresh')
      #self.technical_notes_repeating_panel.items.raise_event('x-refresh')
      get_open_form().raise_event('x-refresh')
      ##self.technical_notes_repeating_panel.raise_event('x-refresh')
      ##self.techncial_notes_tasks_data_grid.raise_event('x-refresh')
      ##self.technical_notes_repeating_panel.get_open_form().raise_event('x-refresh')
      #TN().raise_event('x-refresh')
      #self.parent.raise_event('x-refresh')

Any suggestions?

Repeating panel to collect new information?

This is exactly the right way to do it. In fact, I would probably create one or more named dummy objects so that I can easily refer to them later. Something like this, perhaps: def __init__(self, **properties): self.init_components(**properties) # When the form is created, populate the RepeatingPanel self.data = [ ...your actual data... ] self.new_item = {"foo": "", "bar": ""} self.repeating_panel_1.items = self.data + [self.new_item] def save_new_item_click (se…

How to add a column dynamically to a repeating panel

a quick note that using append alone isn’t enough here. Use either: self.repeating_panel.items.append({'foo':'baz','message':'Error!'}) self.repeating_panel.items = self.repeating_panel.items or self.repeating_panel.items = self.repeating_panel.items + [{'foo':'baz','message':'Error!'}] related topics: regarding how to loop over the repeating panels - you have some optoins for componet in repeating_panel.get_components(): # do something or use the __init__ method of the ItemTe…

Mr Cork Sir you are a GENIUS! The second one (setting the items equal to itself) did the trick:
self.technical_notes_repeating_panel.items.append({‘item_number_column’: ‘26’, ‘comment_column’: ‘’, ‘action_column’: ‘’, ‘owner_column’: ‘’, ‘target_date_column’: ‘’, ‘date_completed_column’: ‘’,})
self.technical_notes_repeating_panel.items = self.technical_notes_repeating_panel.items
