Event delegates not attached to Field Editor

Using the guidance at https://community.skuid.com/t/edit-mode-button?topic-reply-list%5Bsettings%5D%5Bfilte…, if a Field Editor starts in “Edit” mode, when changing to “Read” mode, the event delegates for the fields (hover, dblclick, etc.) are not attached.

This appears to be due to the way the editor itself is initially created as the delegates are only established if the editor is in “read” mode initially. Additionally, there doesn’t appear to be a way to force the delegates to attach.

This becomes an issue for pages that start in “edit” mode (e.g. New, Edit, etc.) but allow toggling to “read” mode.

Is there a way to force the delegates to attach that I might be overlooking or any thoughts on how to trigger the desired behavior?

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create page using XML below
  2. Open page picking any Account
  3. On initial display, the top Field Editor starts in “Edit” mode, the bottom one in “read” mode. The “hover”, “dblclick”, etc. work on the bottom editor.
  4. Click the “Flip to Edit” mode button - both editors go to “Edit” mode
  5. Click the “Flip to Read” mode button - both editors go to “Read” mode

Actual Result
Top editor hover, dblclick, etc. do not work while bottom editor does

Expected Result
Top editor has event delegates hooked after toggling to read mode

This has been fixed in dev and should make it into our next patch release.

You’re on a roll, thanks Ben!

The fix for this is now available in patch 6.8.7, available from www.skuidify.com/skuidreleases

Tested and confirmed, thank you!
