Data_editor - Not returning edited data on button click

šŸŽˆ Using Streamlit
1

Hello, Iā€™m new to Streamlit and I appreciate if you could suggest solutions for the issue Iā€™m having.

Idea
The idea is to get edited values in ā€œedited_colā€ column on submit (so that I can update database record).

Issue
The issue Iā€™m having is that I have to click Submit button twice to get it to work. Also the table value unexpectedly reset value as well.

Potential Cause
I think it is caused by the data_editor not returning the edited result at the button onclick event.

Potential Solution?
Would you be able to tell me if there is a way to force data_editor to return the edited result? or may be better ways to make this work somehow please?

Thank you.

Iā€™m testing script below on https://edit.share.stlite.net/
(Streamlit v1.24.0)

import streamlit as st
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame(
    [
       {"Type": 3, "ROW_ID": 6, "edited_col": "etc", "rating": 4, "is_widget": True},
       {"Type": 1, "ROW_ID": 7, "edited_col": "st.selectbox", "rating": 4, "is_widget": True},
       {"Type": 1, "ROW_ID": 8, "edited_col": "st.balloons", "rating": 5, "is_widget": False},
       {"Type": 2, "ROW_ID": 9, "edited_col": "A", "rating": 3, "is_widget": True},
       {"Type": 1, "ROW_ID": 10, "edited_col": "B", "rating": 3, "is_widget": True},
       {"Type": 2, "ROW_ID": 11, "edited_col": "C", "rating": 3, "is_widget": True},
       {"Type": 2, "ROW_ID": 12, "edited_col": "D", "rating": 3, "is_widget": True},
       {"Type": 2, "ROW_ID": 13, "edited_col": "F", "rating": 3, "is_widget": True}
   ]
)

if "df" not in st.session_state:
    st.session_state.df = df[df["Type"].isin([2])]

with st.sidebar:
    if st.button("obj 1"):
        st.session_state.df = df[df["Type"].isin([1])]

    if st.button("obj 2"):
        st.session_state.df = df[df["Type"].isin([2])]

edited_df = st.data_editor(st.session_state["df"])

if st.button("Submit"):
    df = st.session_state["df"]
    only_diff_df = df.compare(edited_df)
    changde_df_row = df[df.index.isin(only_diff_df.index)]
    for i in only_diff_df.index:
        changde_df_row = df[df.index.isin([i])]
        st.write("ROW_ID")
        st.write(changde_df_row["ROW_ID"].item())
        st.write("Chanded to ")
        st.write(only_diff_df["edited_col"]["other"][only_diff_df["edited_col"]["other"].index.isin([i])].item())
    st.session_state["df"] = edited_df

st.experimental_data_editor was deprecated in version 1.23.0. Use st.data_editor instead.

Thanks for your comment. And Fair point. Iā€™ve modified the topic using data_editor. Cheers.
