I need a row submit action, that allows a form to be submitted for a 
specific line in a repeater.

An example usecase would be on a selling site, you have a repeater 
showing purchasable items, each with a 'buy' button next to it.

Clicking on a row submit action will submit the form and allow the 
flowscript code that deals with the submitted form to gain access to 
either the repeater row object, or at least the row index that was clicked.

Is there anything like this already? Any of you interested in adding it ;-)
   

Use a wd:submit widget (or wd:action) as child of the repeater. In its
event handler you can get the repeater row by getting the parent of the
submitted widget:
event.getSourceWidget().getParent()

using getId() on it will return the row number (as a string). You can
access other widgets on the repeater row by using the getWidget(id)
method on it.
 

Bruno,

Thanks for this. What I've done is extend the RowAction to give it a 
'submit-row' action-command. I've added a property to the repeater for 
it to store and access the 'submittedRow'. When the submit-row RowAction 
is clicked, it sets the submitted row on the repeater. Then from flow, 
the submitted row can be found from flow using 
form.getWidget("repeatername").getSubmittedRow().

I would rather not do it in an event handler, as I'd have to store the 
row somewhere for future use outside of the forms flow.

Is this reasonable? Is it a reasonable patch?
