Grid field actions not available

[jonom]

Hi UC,

The GridField 'Add Mock Data' form never seems to show up automatically for me - the only way I can get it is to manually add it to a GridField. Is there a trick to this? When I manually add it with $config->addComponent(new MockDataGenerator()); it shows up above the form but still works fine. Of course I'd rather not do it that way as I have to remove it before I publish the site.

Seems GridFieldConfig never calls $this->extend('updateConfig') yet? See https://github.com/unclecheese/silverstripe-mock-dataobjects/blob/master/code/extensions/MockDataObjectGridFieldConfig.php#L8

Ah you're right! Looks like this feature should be available from 3.2 onwards. @unclecheese do you want me to add a note to the ReadMe to that effect?

Wow the necessary change was merged in to master nearly 2 years ago! I sure hope SemVer helps make these types of changes available quicker in future.

Seems it's solved in SS3.2 now.

That's great news! I've been waiting ages for that PR to be released! Exciting that we'll finally get this without any extra config.
