New rows/records in grid not selectable after ID change from server

[stephanschuster]

Assume a view with a grid and two buttons "New" and "Save" with the following implementation:

onClickNew: function () 
        var customer = Ext.create('Playground.model.Customer');
        var grid = this.getView();
        grid.getStore().add(customer);
        grid.getPlugin('cellediting').startEdit(customer, 0);
    }

onClickSave: function () {
        this.getView().getStore().sync();
    }

And for the sake of completeness here's the base model of "Customer":

Ext.define('Playground.model.Base', {
    extend: 'Ext.data.Model',

    idProperty: "_id",

    fields: [
        { name: '_id', type: 'string' }
    ],

    schema: {
        namespace: 'Playground.model',
        urlPrefix: '/api',
        proxy: {
            type: 'rest',
            url: '{prefix}/{entityName:uncapitalize}s',
            pageParam: '',
            startParam: '',
            limitParam: '',
            reader: {
                type: 'json'
            },
            writer: {
                type: 'json',
                nameProperty: 'mapping'
            }
        }
    }
};

When clicking "New" a new record is created and added to the store which the user can customize before finally clicking on "Save". When "Save" is clicked, a POST request is sent to the backend with "_id: 'Customer-1'". So far so good. Now on the serverside the new record is written to the database and the real ID returned in the JSON response: "_id: '53e32b7e0364bede1c6a7c19'". On the clientside the serverId automatically replaces the temporary clientId. Perfect!

However, from now on the new row/record in the grid is not selectable anymore.

Probably this is a duplicate. You can find the workaround here http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthread.php?288825 but it is only temporary because it's already fixed

Thanks for your reply. Meanwhile I found this bug report too. Seems to be a duplicate, yes.

Just another question of a ExtJS newbie: How and where do I get new releases, (nightly) builds, release notes etc. of ExtJS, e.g. ExtJS 5.0.1? Is there anything I missed?

[israelroldan]

Releases are always announced in the blog, newsletter and forums.
There are support-only releases (i.e. Ext JS 4.2.2+) that are only available for support subscribers.

A support subscription, among other things provides you with access to the nightly builds via the support portal and fiddle (when logged using a support-linked account).

Release notes can be found in the docs: http://docs.sencha.com/extjs/5.0.0/w...ase_notes.html

[stephanschuster]

Perfect, thanks! Last question: is there anything like a roadmap or scheduled release dates so that users can see what's to come and when?

[israelroldan]

Unfortunately no... but we try to share as much as possible on what the features to come are via our newsletters and blog posts. Hopefully this changes in the future!
