edit one column update the value in another column

Say I have 2 columns in the grid, Debit and Credit, edit one should automatically update the other column BEFORE saving.

I thought it should be simple, but couldn't find a way to handle that.

1. I tried CellSave and CellEdit in GridEvent, seems it only works in Batch  mode.  I prefer inline mode.

2. I tried to use EditTemplate in the ColumnCell, use a NumericTextBox with a ValueChange event handler, it can catch the event, but through the argument I doesn't have a way to change the row data.

Can you guys provide me some answer here?

Haizhi,  
 
Greetings from Syncfusion support.  
 
Query: “Debit and Credit, edit one should automatically update the other column BEFORE saving 
 
From your query we understand that you want to change one column value based on the other and want to use NumericTextBox component in EditForm. You can achieve this requirement using EditTemplate feature of EjsGrid. We have used ValueChange event of NumericText box control to change the value of another column using property binding.  
 
Since you want to change the value one column while changing the other column, we have used the flag (SU,DU) variable to achieve your requirement. And also we have used Boolean variable to identify whether the record is being editing to ensure that correct value is displayed in Grid edit form. 
   
Refer the below code example. 
 
<EjsGrid DataSource="@Orders" AllowPaging="true" Toolbar="@(new List<string>() { "Add""Edit""Delete""Cancel""Update" })" Height="315"> 
    <GridEvents OnActionBegin="Begin" TValue="Order"></GridEvents> 
. . . . . . . . . . . 
        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.Credit) HeaderText="Credit" Format="C2" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"> 
            <EditTemplate> 
                @{ 
                    var order = (context as Order); 
                    <EjsNumericTextBox ID="Credit" TValue="int?" Value=@(GetValue(order,"Credit"))> 
                        <NumericTextBoxEvents ValueChange="@((args)=>OnCreditChange(args,order))" TValue="int?"></NumericTextBoxEvents> 
                    </EjsNumericTextBox> 
                } 
            </EditTemplate> 
        </GridColumn> 
        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(Order.Debit) HeaderText="Debit" Format="C2" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"> 
            <EditTemplate> 
                @{ 
                    var order = (context as Order); 
                    <EjsNumericTextBox ID="Debit" TValue="int?" Value=@(GetValue(order,"Debit"))> 
                        <NumericTextBoxEvents ValueChange="@((args)=>OnDebitChange(args,order))" TValue="int?"></NumericTextBoxEvents> 
                    </EjsNumericTextBox> 
                } 
            </EditTemplate> 
        </GridColumn> 
    </GridColumns> 
</EjsGrid> 
  
@code{ 
    public intGetValue(Order orderstring columns) 
    { 
        if (columns == "Credit") 
        { 
            if (isEdit) 
                CreditScore = null; 
            return ((int?)(CreditScore ?? order.Credit)); 
        } 
        else 
        { 
            if (isEdit) 
                DebitScore = null; 
            return ((int?)(DebitScore ?? order.Debit)); 
        } 
    } 
    public bool CU = false; 
    public bool DU = false; 
    public bool isEdit = false; 
    public int? DebitScore { getset; } = null; 
    public int? CreditScore { getset; } = null; 
    public List<Order> Orders { getset; } 
    public void Begin(ActionEventArgs<OrderArgs) 
    { 
        if (Args.RequestType == Syncfusion.EJ2.Blazor.Grids.Action.BeginEdit) 
        { 
            isEdit = true; 
        } 
    } 
    public void OnCreditChange(Syncfusion.EJ2.Blazor.Inputs.ChangeEventArgs ArgsOrder Value) 
    { 
        isEdit = false; 
        if (!CU) 
        { 
            DebitScore = Value.principal - Convert.ToInt32(Args.Value); 
            DU = true; 
        } 
        else 
        { 
            CU = false; 
        } 
    } 
    public void OnDebitChange(Syncfusion.EJ2.Blazor.Inputs.ChangeEventArgs ArgsOrder Value) 
    { 
        isEdit = false; 
        if (!DU) 
        { 
            CreditScore = Value.principal - Convert.ToInt32(Args.Value); 
            CU = true; 
        } 
        else 
        { 
            DU = false; 
        } 
    }    
} 
 
 
Note: we have used two Boolean flag variable, since we are updating the other column value in change event and vice versa. Other wise it might lead to change the value continuously between them upon changing.  
 
For your convenience we have prepared a sample which can be downloaded from below
