Maxime Cowez commented on FLEX-33248: ------------------------------------- I have updated my original test application to include a 'filterFunction' on the 'dataProvider'. See https://github.com/RIAstar/ApacheFlexPatchDemo/blob/master/src/main/actionscript/net/riastar/patchfx/GridItemEditorDemo.mxml And here's the diff: https://github.com/RIAstar/ApacheFlexPatchDemo/commit/5e73779aefa98f2af46ab06e3dff6af80d6d9a4a When you compile this with Flex 4.9.0 and you edit the 'company.name' field, you'll get a Type Coercion error telling you that a Company can't be cast to an Employee. > Spark GridItemEditor cannot edit nested properties > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLEX-33248 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33248 > Project: Apache Flex > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Spark: DataGrid > Affects Versions: Apache Flex 4.8 (parity release) > Reporter: Maxime Cowez > Assignee: Carol Frampton > Priority: Minor > Fix For: Apache Flex Next > > Attachments: Company.as, Employee.as, FLEX33248.mxml, > GridItemEditor.as > > > To reproduce: > <s:DataGrid editable="true"> > <s:columns> > <s:ArrayList> > <s:GridColumn dataField="someProperty.nestedProperty" /> > </s:ArrayList> > </s:columns> > </s:DataGrid> > This will throw a "no such property" error when the user tries to edit a > cell, because GridItemEditor tries to access `_data[column.dataField]` in the > `data` setter. > I filed it as a bug and not as an improvement, because it is inconsistent > with `GridItemRenderer`'s behaviour, which does render the nested property > correctly. > Note that the `save()` method is also affected: the item's property is > accessed in the same way there. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
