Carriage Return in Text-Area of Editable Table Form Causes Exit from Edit Mode

Marley Bates

JET Version: 10.0

Hi Community

I am hitting an issue when using editable form table. A row can be edited by clicking the Edit icon which brings up a form containing input-text fields. When the enter key is pressed the edit form is cancelled and opens the same form but for the next row in the table.

Ideally I would like the edit button to perform a carriage return. Does anyone have any ideas about how to do this?

Many thanks

After enter is pressed the form is brought up for the next row and the previous row changes are not updated:

As long as you are on JET v10 or newer, there was a feature added to the oj-text-area component that will allow you to use Alt-Enter instead of Enter to get the new line. Pressing Enter by itself will submit the change.
