Trouble converting Google App Maker from draft record in datasource

I see that the draft record in datasource is deprecated. I read the release notes but am having trouble with one bit of code. Tried to convert this:

widget.datasource.draft.Email = (newValue) ? newValue.PrimaryEmail : null;

to this:

widget.datasource.item.Email = (newValue) ? newValue.PrimaryEmail : null;

But am getting this error: Cannot set property 'Email' of null

Any suggestions on what is wrong? The widget is being passed from the onValueChange action.

Thanks

You can change the widget's datasource to the create datasource in the Property Editor on the right side. Click the datasource binding and select "[Datasource Name] (create)". (screenshot)

An alternative option if you want to keep your widget bound to the normal datasource would be to set it programmatically:

widget.datasource.modes.create.item.Email = (newValue) ? newValue.PrimaryEmail : null;

Here is further documentation for accessing the create datasource through scripting.

I believe you need to set your widget's data source to a "Create" data source, before converting to "item".
