Question regarding "bReadOnly"

[Mephisto]

Hi there,
I noticed that in "record_quest" we run this code

function update()
super.update();

local bReadOnly = WindowManager.getReadOnlyState(getDatabaseNode());
cr.setReadOnly(bReadOnly);
xp.setReadOnly(bReadOnly);
end
while in "record_skill" we run this more advanced code

function onInit()
self.update();
end
function update()
local bReadOnly = WindowManager.getReadOnlyState(getDatabaseNode())
local tFields = { "stat", "text", };
WindowManager.callSafeControlsUpdate(self, tFields, bReadOnly);
end

Any particular reason why the same code isn't used?

For which ruleset? Off the top of my head from looking at the snippet, one is calling a deeper update function call while the other is just running the update at that particular level. You see this with merged controls.

The new 5E ruleset.

Then yes, it would mean super.update() is calling a layered update call. This runs that code instead of simply overwriting it with the current update call.
