Now let us go back to editing that functionality there, by showing you some more options('Look'). Go to custom buttons. Add another button. Target - call it 'single'. Name - call it 'Work'. The Controller method - 'getDone', and leave Type to 'Default' and then save.

Since the moment this button is clicked, you are inside of the item and it automatically submit the form. The values of those items can be grabbed but it may be different values than that which are in the database.

Just keep that in mind, because you could change the values, then click that button and it will actually submit these new changed values. And yet those values have not been saved to the database.

I'm not going to demonstrate how to do that, but the model has a save method, and you should do the necessary sanitation, and [00:09:12](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyBxWpJWb40&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h09m12s) trigger the save method, and it should store the data. I'm just going to grab the data. I'm just going to do a little verification maybe, and then return back either an error or a success.
