Table layout - how to determine row is in edit item or add item mode
I am using Pega 8 and I have a Table layout that use the expandable rows for row editing. In the expanded section, how can I know whether I am editing an existing record or creating a new record?
Thanks

Hello Benjamin,
Generally when we edit a row in expandable row, the parent row would still display the data and changes as per changes made in the expanded row.
However a new item would not have any data in the parent row and would display as empty.
There is no specific mechanism to identify an edited item or a new row as such in my knowledge.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the reply. That is what I suspect as well, but I just want to see if I miss some new features in Pega8.

Yes, because "Edit" would be for something which is already present, but "Add" means currently no data is present.

If the items are persisted separate from the Case, look for pzInsKey or pxCommitDataTime; if it is a pagelist, hook a transform into the post-update mechanism to stamp pxUpdateDateTime, then check that field.
