I can\'t get editData or onclickSubmit to do what I need.

I want the grid to follow the added or edited row after update. So, I need to post some additional info so

Answer 1

I think this should do exactly what you want, it changes the postData variable that is sent to the controller, and then triggers a reload.

$('#gridName').jqGrid('setGridParam', { postData: { KeyName: KeyValue } }).trigger('reloadGrid', [{ page: 1}]);

if you need it to go as part of your edit you can do almost the same thing

$(#gridName).jqGrid('editGridRow', rowid, { editData: { KeyName: KeyValue

Answer 2

You can either define properties of editData using functions

editData: {
    sortColumnName: function () { return "ProductName"; },
    sortOrder: function () { return "asc"; },
    rowNum: function () { return 15; }
}

or use callback onclickSubmit to extend the data posted to the server

onclickSubmit: function (options, postData) {
    return {
        sortColumnName: "ProductName",
        sortOrder: "asc",
        rowNum: 15
    };
}

or use serializeEditData callback

serializeEditData: function (postData) {
    return $.extend(true, {}, postData, {
        sortColumnName: "ProductName",
        sortOrder: "asc",
        rowNum: 15
    });
}

Every from above ways do the same. You can choose one way which you find the mostly convenient for your requirements.
