ebs.generateEdit

Displays a predefined form or form driven flow that allows you to edit a specific entity record.

The displayed form or form driven flow has dedicated action handler buttons that allow you to save the record independently from the parent page.

Syntax

Copy

function ebs.generateEdit(mainHtmlId: any, entityName: any, id: any, returnHash: any, newform: any, pageNo: any): void;

Property	Type	Description
`mainHtmlId`	string	ID of the parent HTML element where the form or form driven flow will be injected.
`entityName`	string	Name of the entity where the record will be edited.
`id`	string	ID of the record you wish to edit.
`returnHash`(optional)	string	Legacy feature. No longer used.
`newForm`(optional)	string	Name of the form or form driven flow. If left empty, the default edit form or form driven flow associated with the entity is used.
`pageNo`(optional)	number	If the form or form driven flow has multiple sections, you can specify if you want it to open on a specific page. If left empty, the first page will be displayed.

In this example:

We edit the page template of a form driven flow section to include an empty div element with the editUser ID and a custom button called editThisUser.
We use the formData.model method to retrieve the ID of the user record that is currently processed on the page (the userAccount attribute).
In the section's After Generate tab, we include the following code that injects the default edit form of the Account entity in the div element when the button is clicked in order to edit the user account record on-demand:

Copy

$('#editThisUser').on('click', function (event) {
    ebs.generateEdit('editUser', 'Account', formData.model.userAccount)})
