Hi @Ankit Jain, Thanks for the Wonderful content, I have had one doubt.
How to edit custom Types that we implemented in previous session ? I tried with name column but it's not working

[@TechJourneyWithAnkit]

I beleive If the component are in use it will not allow to do.

[@nitinnainwal]

Hi Ankit, Save button functionality is not working for me. It is showing - Uncaught (in promise) Error: A listener indicated an asynchronous response by returning true, but the message channel closed before a response was received. Please help.

[@nitinnainwal]

I have done the exactly same thing as you did in this video.

[@Nitin-ep4xg]

Hey can you post your code here. i believe you are getting error on the line--> let updateRecPromiseArray = updateRecordsArray.map((currItem) => updateRecord(currItem))
// console.log('updateRecPromiseArray>>>' , JSON.stringify(updateRecPromiseArray));
or you can check in debug console by applying breakpoints.

[@rahulsingh-cs8og]

Hi, I was also recieving same issue but need to do some changes and now its working.
async HandlerSave(event) {
let records=event.detail.draftValues;//return of array of updated values of record
let updaterecordArray = records.map((currItem) => {
let fieldInput={...currItem};
return{
fields: fieldInput
};
});
this.draftValues=[];
let updaterecordPromise = updaterecordArray.map((currItem)=> updateRecord(currItem));
try{
await Promise.all(updaterecordPromise);
const evt = new ShowToastEvent({
title: "Success",
message: "Record is Updated Successfully",
variant: "success"
});
this.dispatchEvent(evt);
}
catch(error){
console.log(error);
}
}

}
also if you are trying to update name than you will get error as in salesforce first name and last name you should use to update. but for other field it will work as in my case.

Hi...Ankit how we can update Rich-text area field can u please guide mi in that

[@TechJourneyWithAnkit]

Don't do that, it will be a bad user experience, use row action, open modal and put rich text there

[@amarmute7384]

[@kallurma]

Hi @Anki, it's nice session. It's very useful for me. I need help I'm displaying all columns in lwc datatable popup. When i click on save it's not saving

Check the error message in catch block to validate why it is not saving
