Question

Is it possible to init the newly created row with values from the previous row in EditTablePlugin?

I've tried something like %EDITTABLE{format="|textarea,5x30,%CALC{"$T(R$ROW(-1):C$COLUMN(0))"}%| }%

• where %CALC{"$T(R$ROW(-1):C$COLUMN(0))"}% is a naiive attempt to get the init value from previous row(doesnt work this way)

Any idea, suggestion?

Or will I have to implement "copy values from previously edited" functionality to EditTablePlugin like %EDITTABLE{format="|textarea,5x30, copy"|}?

Thanks,

Vasek

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

I am not sure if this is possible with the CALC since CALC can only refer to content above in a table. It looks like you'd need to extend the plugin itself to copy the cell above the current cell when adding a row. Best to discuss the spec first in EditTablePluginDev. We'd love to see your contribution on twiki.org!

Thanks Peter, I thought so. I'll check if I'm able to do the functionality change in EditTablePlugin.

Thanks for the offer to enhance the plugin! On no rights, we temporarily locked down 4 TWiki webs due to a noisy & hostile fork. Please read the yellow broadcast message at the top of this page and opt-in by editing your homepage.
