Kinetic Dashboard - Added Controls stuck as Read-Only/Disabled

[datadaddy (Scott Janisch)]

Wondering if anyone else has seen this, I don’t believe it worked this way previously
(we are Saas, version 2025.1.11)

Situation:

• Created new Dashboard using application studio wizard
• Data source for the grid/view is a new query, query is not updatable
• Grid properly shows data when application loads
• Added a text box in the Form section and set epiBinding to “TransView.Customer”
• Also tried adding a text box in the Panel-Card-Grid above the grid
• In both cases the text box is not allowing input
  (behaves as though it is read-only/disabled but it is not)

Thanks

H Scott,
Ensure you have a record in the TransView dataview. Use the DebugTool or DevTools to see its content.
If no record, you get the disabled control.

Hi Carlos,

I did not even have a TransView view, so I added one,
but it does not have a record when I load the dashboard

What is the correct way to setup the TransView view so that it has a record ?

Thanks

You need to add an event with a row-add widget on the Window On Load event.

Something like this:

Yep, just figured that out (I used row update and set a field, but I like your approach better)

Thanks
