Change Elements Model​

info

Use this model to set element(s) if you use context.panel.onChangeElements([]) method.

Dynamic element creation and manipulation through the panel uses the concept that the model of the element(s) will be fetched in its entirety and set through a method. The elements will not be saved in the panel options.

Change Options Model​

info

Use this model to set element(s) if you use context.panel.onOptionsChange({}) method.

The element added through this method will be added to the panel options. Operation of the element may not be the same as the expected behavior.

If you use it in the initial request, don't forget to disable the Synchronize option. Enabling the Synchronize option and using it together with context.panel.onOptionsChange() in the Initial Request will cause the panel to reload constantly.

Disable Synchronize with data to avoid endless reloading of the panel if onOptionsChange() is used in the initial request.
