Hello, does anyone know how to disable auto selection of first field in detail view? What happens is I have the date field as the first field on my form which displays current date, then second field is a text field. When adding new record I click on the second field and start typing, but soon as I start typing it automatically jumps to the date field and knocks the date out.. How to stop that please? I have uploaded that on youtube: https://youtu.be/3_TrVvE2vmg Thanks

Hi,

it will be improved with next version, as far as I know.

This should help for now:

As a workaround we can overwrite the default behaviour by replacing the existing focusFirstFormElement-function by a function doing nothing.

Code: Select all

AppGini.focusFirstFormElement = function() { /*noop*/ };
If necessary, you can also replace the function per detail view with your own implementation.

Hope this helps! Can you please give feedback if this works for you.

Best,
Jan
