Here we have a very basic table with an Add button and grouping activated. When I select values for the existing items and then press the button to add a new row, my selected values are getting reset, but without grouping it works fine. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?
sap.ui.getCore().attachInit(() => sap.ui.require([
"sap/ui/core/mvc/XMLView",
"sap/ui/model/json/JSONModel" // sample model. Can be also an ODataModel.
], async (XMLView, JSONModel) => {
"use strict";
const control = await XMLView.create({
definition: `<mvc:View xmlns="sap.m" xmlns:mvc="sap.ui.core.mvc">
<Table items="{
path: '/tableItems',
sorter: { path : 'group', group: true }
}">
<headerToolbar>
<OverflowToolbar>
<Title text="Test Table" />
<ToolbarSpacer/>
<Button id="addButton" text="Add" type="Emphasized" />
</OverflowToolbar>
</headerToolbar>
<columns>
<Column width="20rem">
<Label text="col0"/>
</Column>
<Column width="20rem">
<Label text="col1"/>
</Column>
</columns>
<ColumnListItem vAlign="Middle">
<Text text="{text}" />
<Select forceSelection="false" width="100%" xmlns:core="sap.ui.core">
<core:Item text="test1" key="test1" />
<core:Item text="test2" key="test2" />
<core:Item text="test3" key="test3" />
<core:Item text="test4" key="test4" />
</Select>
</ColumnListItem>
</Table>
</mvc:View>`,
afterInit: function() {
this.byId("addButton").attachPress(onPressAdd, this);
function onPressAdd() {
const oModel = this.getModel();
const aItems = oModel.getProperty("/tableItems");
const newItems = aItems.concat({
group: "3",
text: "3-1",
key: "3-1",
});
oModel.setProperty("/tableItems", newItems);
}
},
models: new JSONModel({
number: 0,
tableItems: [
{
group: "1",
text: "1-1",
key: "1-1",
},
{
group: "1",
text: "1-2",
key: "1-2",
},
{
group: "2",
text: "2-1",
key: "2-1",
},
{
group: "2",
text: "2-2",
key: "2-2",
},
],
}),
});
control.placeAt("content");

Set the growing="true"
to the sap.m.Table
.
This enables GrowingEnablement
internally which prevents rerendering the entire ListBase (Table) when the target gets invalidated. Only the necessary item will be then appended to the table.
Generally, in order to optimize the rendering behavior, it's always a good practice to..:
growing
property if the table / list is editable, shrinkable, or expandable.key: <propertyName with unique values>
to the ListBinding info object to benefit from the Extended Change Detection if the model is a client-side model such as JSONModel
. With an ODataModel
, the key
is automatically added by the framework.<Table xmlns="sap.m"
growing="true"
items="{
path: 'myModel>/myCollection',
key: <propertyName>, (if 'myModel' is not an ODataModel)
sorter: ...
}"
>
Unfortunately enabling growing does not solve the problem :/
@Lumpenstein You have to put
growing="true"
to the table as a control property. I re-tried my solution with your code snippet from the question. Worked quite well.In jsfiddle and here in SO it works indeed, but somehow not in my project, even though I literarily copied the code now for testing. The only difference I see is that jsfiddle uses OpenUI5 Version 1.84.0 whereas in my project version 1.82.2 gets used.
Created a new empty project, copied the code, not working, any idea what could cause this ?
Yes from the WebIDE. Lucky you I hate their WebIDE would love to use VSCode or Webstorm instead.
