Trevor North commented on FLEX-33248: ------------------------------------- Unfortunately this issue is still not fully resolved. In the GridItemEditor data property setter, if the column has a complex field reference the value is always cast to string since it calls column.itemToString. As far as I can see it should be fetching the data value in the same manner as the save function does later (ie. looping over column.dataFieldPath) as it makes no sense to cast. > 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, Apache Flex 4.10.0 > > 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.
