External Fields Synchronized with Nodes

[SilasNiewierra]

Hi @jerosoler ,

I have a question regarding the inputs of the Nodes. I would like to do something like the following:

• A node displays information
• The user clicks on the node to edit it
• A dialog opens like "IVR Menu" in the attached image
• The user edits the information and hits "Save"
• The node updates its content
• The user exports the flowchart
• All the information are node, as if I woul've used the df-inputs

Is that possible, and if so, how?

Hi @SilasNiewierra

You can use the data update method updateNodeDataFromId(5, { name: 'Drawflow' })

With this you could achieve your purpose.

Great, thank you so much 😄 Is it possible to manually unselect a node? I would like to unselect the node, when I click a button in the upcoming dialog?

Good!! ;)

Yes with:

editor.node_selected.classList.remove("selected");
editor.node_selected  = null;

Or simulate click with javascript events.
