Update a Kanban card

Example:

onCardClick: async args => {
    const form = [
        {id: "name", name: "Name", type: "text"},
        {id: "text", name: "Description", type: "textarea"}
    ];
    const modal = await DayPilot.Modal.form(form, args.card.data);
    if (modal.canceled) {
        return;
    }
    args.card.data.name = modal.result.name;
    args.card.data.text = modal.result.text;
    kanban.cards.update(args.card);
}

You can update the card by calling cards.update(). The argument must be the original Card object (but you can modify the properties of args.card.data as needed).

When you right click the context menu, the args passed has a source property. Is that the card object?

We tried using that but it does not work.

Yes. You can try something like this:

contextMenuCard: new DayPilot.Menu({
    items: [
        {
            text: "Edit...", onClick: async (args) =>{
                const card = args.source;
                const form = [
                    {id: "name", name: "Name", type: "text"},
                    {id: "text", name: "Description", type: "textarea"}
                ];
                const modal = await DayPilot.Modal.form(form, card.data);
                if (modal.canceled) {
                    return;
                }
                card.data.name = modal.result.name;
                card.data.text = modal.result.text;
                kanban.cards.update(card);
            }
        },
        {text: "-"},
        {
            text: "Delete", onClick: (args) => {
                kanban.cards.remove(args.source);
            }
        }
    ]
})

If you don’t have the Card object for some reason, you get get it using cards.find(id):

const card = kanban.cards.find(1);
card.data.name = "Task 1";
kanban.cards.update(card);
