Set new value based on other value

[queensgambit9]

Im trying to use render function to set a new cell value in other column depending on an if statement:

Code: [Select]

render: function (ui) {
if (condition) {
        return "test" + ui.cellData; // this is the only line executed
        ui.rowData.column1 = "test"; // this line does not work, however it works if above line is removed
        }
}
Thanks in advance.

That's quite normal. Any line after return statements are not executed. You could move that line before return statement.

Anyway there is a better way to set value of a cell which is based on other cell values with help of column.formula.
