So, I don’t know if this a bug.


The reason it’s happening because model.cancel() trigger ‘row.updated’ event.


It kind of makes sense as the value in the field changed from a → b, though I expected row.updated to not be triggered by an ‘undo’ action.


I will leave it open for Skuid to confirm this, or just mark this answered.


Thank you


Follow up on previous comment. Am I right to believe that if the even was original triggered by cancel event and I’m looking at update event that the following parameters will be undefined:


  • modelHadPriorChanges

  • rowHadPriorChanges

Can someone please confirm that?


Thank you
