Thanks for the quick response... I implement that, but I can't find the original element's id in any of the function accessible objects... neither "this", "value" or "settings". I realize I might be missing something. I'm just stomped.

Great work by the way, thanks for sharing!

That would be $(this).attr('id').

Hi Nicolas, just wanted to let you know I tried it, and I'm still not able to get the id, or any other attribute from the node being edited. Here is a quick snippet showing you everything I tried. Hope you can shed some light into this or publish a basic example showing this succeeding. Thanks!!

$('.editable').editable(
    (value, settings) => {

        const new_value = value.trim();

        console.log(sn, "- this:", $(this));
        console.log(sn, "- this 2:", this);
        console.log(sn, "- this id:", $(this).attr('id'));
        console.log(sn, "- this id v2:", this.parentNode.getAttribute('id'));
        console.log(sn, "- this id v2:", $(this).parentNode.getAttribute('id'));
        console.log(sn, "- this data-assignment-id:", $(this).attr('data-assignment-id'));

I suspect it's because you're using an arrow function, and it impacts what is "this". Try with a normal function.
