Adding additional column in a Grid not working

[walker1234Participant]

I am trying to add an additional “Description” column as shown in the JSFiddle here and it’s not working. It’s blank right now. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi walker1234,

You’re not adding the data for the “description” to your array. You’re only adding the item itself and the date, but not the description. Here’s how it should look:

   for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
                if (i == 0) {
                    var newItem = {};
                    newItem.key = data[i].name;
                    newItem.dates = [data[i].date];
                    newItem.description = data[i].description; //new
                    array.push(newItem);
                } else {
                    var item = data[i];
                    var itemName = item.name;
                    var itemDate = item.date;
                    var itemDescription = item.description; //new
                    if (isUsedKey(array, itemName)) {
                        for (var j = 0; j < array.length; j++) {
                            if (array[j].key == itemName) {
                                var index = array[j].dates.length;
                                array[j].dates[index] = itemDate;
                            }
                        }
                    } else {
                        var nextNewItem = {};
                        nextNewItem.key = itemName;
                        nextNewItem.dates = [itemDate];
                        nextNewItem.description = itemDescription; //new
                        array.push(nextNewItem);
                    }
                }
            }

And here’s a fiddle link with the changes:
