Thank u for video Just confused in one part My question is why we need to keep fieldName:”LeadSource” where we anyway in custom type we r showing it as value and also on typeAttributes one more time assigning LeadSource to it?

Hi @Ankit, it's very nice session, Here how to make picklist field is readonly on condition base, because we are getting picklist custom datatable main component readonly is not applied onload the page if the picklist field value is 'warm' i need to make readonly. Pls suggest how to do that. Even I tried in compobox read-only it's working, but it's applying all values this is wrong scenario

[@TechJourneyWithAnkit]

As per my knowledge that is not possible. Need to do more research on this

[@FranciscoAndresCruzChalparizan]

Can you please share the source code?

[@ambujverma5715]

Can we create an editable lookup field column by using this edit template concept?

[@TechJourneyWithAnkit]

Yes you can

[@raghavendrasharma2466]

In one of my interview, interviewer ask me a question, if with the help of @wire shows the data in datatable, and if someone create a new records, will its automatically show that data or what happens?

[@TechJourneyWithAnkit]

Answer to this is no, you have to invoke refreshApex to notify the wire decorator to reload the data

[@raghavendrasharma2466]

@@TechJourneyWithAnkit it mean we can refresh the client-side cache data using refreshApex to get the updated data in case of @wire?

[@RenataSilva-dp3lx]

Is it possible to do this with richtext?

[@TechJourneyWithAnkit]

Never tried that, but datatable will be clumsy and user experience will not be good. Instead go for row action

[@Infinite0042]

But..What if we want to add 2 picklist field?

[@TechJourneyWithAnkit]

for another picklist , you can use the same custom type, only new column defination and new picklist data is needed

[@DSA_Javascript]

can I get a source code of it ?
