    <p>After a user edits data in jqGrid, I would like to return a formatted JSON string back to the server to be consumed. Below is a sample of what the server expects to receive: </p> <pre><code>{ "aptitudeArrayList":[ { "skill":"VITS", "value":2, "id":2, "color":"RED" }, { "skill":"GBFM", "value":6, "id":1, "color":"GREEN" }, { "skill":"JSON", "value":4, "id":3, "color":"RED" }, { "skill":"CASTLEROCK", "value":7, "id":4, "color":"RED" } ], "cell":12412, "line":"FIRST_LINE", "name":"Barop", "id":1, "region":"The end", "available":true } </code></pre> <p>Here is a segment of my ColModel:</p> <pre><code>... { name:'cell', label:'Cell #', width:80, align:'center', editable:true, editrules:{required:true, integer:true}, editoptions:{size:10, maxlength:10} }, { name:'available', label:'Available', formatter:'checkbox', width:46, align:'center', editable:true, edittype:'checkbox', editoptions:{value:"true:false"} }, { name:"vits.value", label:'VITS', width:300, align:'center', editable:true, jsonmap:"aptitudeArrayList.0.value" }, { name:"vits.color", editable:true, jsonmap:"aptitudeArrayList.0.color" } ... </code></pre> <p>Here are the Edit options: <em>(I commented out postdata as its not needed as of now)</em></p> <pre><code>var editOptions = { onclickSubmit:function (params, postdata) { params.url = URL + '/'; //+ postdata.id; } }; </code></pre> <p>After the edit is called, the data is sent to this function:</p> <pre><code>$.extend($.jgrid.edit, { closeAfterEdit:true, closeAfterAdd:true, ajaxEditOptions:{ contentType:"application/json" }, mtype:'PUT', serializeEditData:function (data) { delete data.oper; return JSON.stringify(data); } }); </code></pre> <p>The inadequate code above returns this JSON:</p> <pre><code>{ "id":"1", "name":"Barop", "region":"The end", "line":"FIRST_LINE", "cell":"12412", "available":"true", "vits.value":"2", "vits.color":"RED" ... } </code></pre> <p>When I attach the debugger I find that <code>data</code> contains: <code>dataObject { id="1", name="Barop", region="The end", ... vits.value="2", vits.color="RED"}</code> It seems it is getting the keys from the <code>name</code> attribute in jqGrid. </p> <p>How would I go about serializing my data to a format that the server requires?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
