Question about Edit Data Grid grid2 in Lecture 4.4.3

0
Hello Mendix Academy Team, I am currently taking the free Mendix Academy course and have a question about the lecture4.4.3 – Step 3: Constrain the Data Using Enumerations, Variables, and Operators. In the lecture materials and screenshots, the data grid is referred to as “Edit Data Grid 'grid2'”.However, when I follow the course step by step in my own project, I only have grid1, and I cannot find any step where grid2 is created or added. Could you please clarify: At which point in the course or in which lecture grid2 is supposed to be added? Or is grid2 simply a naming difference (e.g., grid1 in the current version of the course)? Is this related to a course update or version difference? I want to make sure I am following the intended flow of the course correctly. Thank you very much for your support. Best regards, KZK

This is most likely just a mismatch between the course material and the Mendix version you’re using. In older versions or screenshots, the page may have contained two editable data grids, so one of them was referred to as grid2, but in your current project there’s only a single editable data grid, which is why you only see grid1. The important thing is to follow the intention of the step, not the exact widget name, so you can safely apply the instruction to the existing editable data grid and continue. If later steps still mention grid2, just treat that as “the editable data grid on the page,” or, if you prefer to match the tutorial exactly, you can simply rename grid1 to grid2 since the name itself doesn’t affect the behavior.
