I have 3 database tables. The first is users , the second is tasks

  • 0

I have 3 database tables. The first is users, the second is tasks and the third is tasks_per_user, where i store the relations between users and tasks. A user can have many tasks (or all) and each tasks may belong to many users.

What i want is to create in jqGrid a Multiple Selection Element, where i can list the selected tasks per user, but also be able to change it. I want the list element to present all the available tasks from the tasks table while present as selected the ones that are stored in the tasks_per_user for the specific user.
I have managed to do this for a single select element but i can’t make it work for multiple.
Is this possible?

    If I understand you correct you need fill tasks column as comma separated tasks of the user. The tasks column column can have

    edittype: "select", editoptions: { multiple: true, value: "..." }

    where the value or dataUrl provide the list of possible tasks. See the demo from the answer and the demo from another answer. I recommend you additionally to read the answer which describes a bug in IE7/IE8 with the corresponding bug fix.
