Hi Team,

We have a requirement to add field to store/model dynamically based on record data. Used Core.data.Model#function-addField-static api but it is not working. Provided below sample. Request to review and provide a sample on how to add/remove fields from store/model dynamically.

follow the instructions below and observe in console after calling addField api, new field is not added to model.fields list

  1. open this demo https://bryntum.com/products/gantt/examples/basic/
  2. open up the console
  3. run this 
    gantt.taskStore.modelClass.addField({ name : 'customField', defaultValue : 1, type : 'number' });
  4. Now check the fields list with gantt.taskStore.modelClass.fields
  5. And you'll see no new field added called customField

ModelClass.fields is the block that defines fields at that level in the prototype chain, not the full set of fields available. For that, use gantt.taskStore.modelClass.allFields.

Will clarify this in docs
