it seems to me that the built-in edit forms require that the primary key (used to find the record in the backend db – example: “invoice number”) field must be defined as editable in the colModel, i.e. it must be present on the modal form so that the value is sent on “submit”.

if I have this right, can I define editable:false and tweak the submit function to grab the value from the already selected row before sending it to the backend?

If this field must be present on the form, is there a way to make it “read-only”?

thanks!
