Repeating Grid - Row visibility (filter) in an editable grid
Hello together,
I have the following requirement:
Implement a repeating grid layout, which is editable and show only specific elements (e.g. filter all elements where the .Status != "PENDING") based on a PageList.
Issue:
The row visibility option is visible based on your configuration of the row operations in the "Operations" tab. I couldn't find a way to keep the rows editable (without forcing the user to click on a row) and implementing at the same time an a row visibility.
When I select "Row editing" - "Inline" and "Inline edit mode" - "Rows always editable", the row visibility option is not visible.
I appreciate any hints and help.
Thanks, Marcel

I have found a workaround solution:
1. Configure row operations of the Grid Repeat Layout as "Master-detail"
- you need to create a dummy flow action which is empty
2. Apply row visibility in the Grid Repeat Layout
3. Add a read-only condition on the elements in the repeating grid, which you want to have editable (e.g. checkbox), as otherwise it would still be read-only

If the grid is never to show elements with your filter condition, can you exclude them from the source of the grid rather than filtering them in the grid itself? E.g., if the grid were sourced by a report definition, add a filter conditions to the report definition.

From my understanding a report definition retrieves its data from a database. I need data from the clipboard. I am in one case and need to display data from a PageList. Maybe I misunderstand something.
As an example:
- I have a pyWorkPage.Tasks() with properties .Status, .ResultOption and .Instruction
- I want to display only PageList records where .Status = PENDING
- The user should be able to update .ResultOption
- The user should not need to click in the row to make it editable
