The properties I set in

jQuery("#gridName").jqGrid('editGridRow', "new", properties);

 does not have any effect!!

Is there a bug that when you specifiy the properties when calling like above it doesnt work?

Basically is there a way that when I select a row, I can have a copy button and when that copy button is clicked, a new add modal popup will display with the defaults already selected(values picked up from the already selected row into thew new add modal popup). This will save a tremendous amount of time adding in new records when previous record are nearly identical!

I tried attaching an event onto a button so that when pressed it could do something like this(im using the struts2-jquery plugin):

   function copyRow(){
    var id = jQuery("#gridName").jqGrid('getGridParam','selrow');
    var properties = '{height:500,width:400,reloadAfterSubmit:true,closeAfterAdd:true,afterSubmit:afterAdd,top:1}';

    if(id > 0){
     jQuery("#gridName").jqGrid('editGridRow', "new", properties);
     jQuery("#gridName").jqGrid('GridToForm', id, '#FrmGrid_gridName');
    }else{
     alert('Please select a row.');
    }

   }

What happened above was that the text fields got populated, but the dropdown lists failed. I think it could be because the dropdown lists need to execute the call to retrieve the values for the dropdown but obviously this way I did it, didnt work.

If anyone can help me I would appreicate it greatly. If this functionality doesnt exists, it will be a great one to have in the jqgrid functionality!

thanks!
