Question
I want to apply script to rte element which is select html element, on selecting the value for from one select field the dynamic values should get appended to other select field but the script is not working in rte

rte.add('custom-parentkey', {
icon: htmlForParent,
// Bind the 'result' on 'change' listener
event: 'change',
result: (rte, action) => {
// Here I want to get the field value and get the result dynamically and append it to other select field but the script
is not working
alert(JSON.stringfy(rte))
//rte.insertHTML("<first>HELLLLLOOOO</first>")
},
update: (rte, action) => { action.btn.firstChild.value = "";}
})
rte.add('custom-childkey', {
icon: htmlForChild,
// Bind the 'result' on 'change' listener
event: 'change',
result: (rte, action) => {},
// Reset the select on change
update: (rte, action) => { }
})
I even tried initialising {allowScript:1} in the editor.init() still didn't work

Maybe because it's stringify and not stringfy...
Thanks for reporting this, @pranay2210.
Great suggestion about ****! While this specific feature isn't yet in the core API, there are several ways to achieve similar behavior.
Using the event system:
editor.on('component:update', (component) => {
// your logic here
});
Alternative approaches:
- Listen to
selector:addfor CSS selector changes - Use
selector:customfor custom rules - Tap into the
change:*events for fine-grained tracking - Build a plugin that extends the editor with this capability
Making it official: If this feature would benefit many users, consider opening a formal Feature Request on the GrapesJS repo with:
- A detailed use case
- Code example showing the desired behavior
- Why this matters for your workflow
The core team is receptive to well-motivated feature requests backed by real use cases.
