What does my modObjectUpdateProcessor expect when I call it via AJAX?

I'm having an issue with my CMP. I have a grid that's working great. It uses GetList, Create, and Update processors without any issues. I'm trying to add a button to toggle the active status of the record and it makes sense to me to reuse my Update processor and add some functionality to the beforeSet() method. So I updated my Update processor and called it via AJAX but I keep receiving a failure response. My question is:

What does my modObjectUpdateProcessor expect when I call it via AJAX and how should I pass it data?

Here is my extended modObjectUpdateProcessor called scClassLevelCategoryUpdateProcessor where I added logic to the beforeSet() method:

class scClassLevelCategoryUpdateProcessor extends modObjectUpdateProcessor {

    public $classKey = 'scClassLevelCategory';
    public $languageTopics = array('studentcentre:default');
    public $objectType = 'studentcentre.att';
    
    public function beforeSet() {
        $toggleActive = $this->getProperty('toggleActive');
        
        // Do something with $toggleActive
        
        $this->setProperty('active', $newActiveState);
        return parent::beforeSet();
    }
        
}
return 'scClassLevelCategoryUpdateProcessor';

And here is my ExtJS function called toggleActive from my grid definition (I've just included the function):

toggleActive: function(btn,e) {
    var selRow = this.getSelectionModel().getSelected();
    if (selRow.length <= 0) return false;
    record = JSON.stringify(selRow.data);

    MODx.Ajax.request({
        url: this.config.url
        ,params: {
            action: 'mgr/attendance/scClassLevelCategoryUpdate'
            ,data: record
            ,toggleActive: 1
        }
        ,listeners: {
            'success': {fn:function(r) {
                this.refresh();
                Ext.getCmp('studentcentre-grid-attendance-level-categories').refresh();
            },scope:this}
            ,'failure': {fn:function(r) {
                console.log(r);
            },scope:this}
        }
    });
    return true;
}

Thank everyone and any help would be much appreciated!

Take a look at this: https://www.markhamstra.com/xpdo/2012/modobjectgetlistprocessor-class-based-processor/

I think you may need to override prepareQueryBeforeCount() so it will get the object before modifying it.

Thanks for the reply Bob! I did some more testing and discovered that passing the entire record through the data property wasn't allowing the processor to retrieve the record. Instead I tried passing the primary ID and a toggleActive flag like so:

    toggleActive: function(btn,e) {
        var selRow = this.getSelectionModel().getSelected();
        if (selRow.length <= 0) return false;
        MODx.Ajax.request({
            url: this.config.url
            ,params: {
                action: 'mgr/attendance/scClassLevelCategoryUpdate'
                ,id: selRow.data.id
                ,toggleActive: 1
            }
            ,listeners: {
                'success': {fn:function(r) {
                    this.refresh();
                    Ext.getCmp('studentcentre-grid-attendance-level-categories').refresh();
                },scope:this}
            }
        });
        return true;
    }

The Update processor was then able to retrieve the record. The key was ensuring that I was passing a property called id which contained the primary key of the record I wanted to update. I then modified my Update processor like so:

class scClassLevelCategoryUpdateProcessor extends modObjectUpdateProcessor {

    public $classKey = 'scClassLevelCategory';
    public $languageTopics = array('studentcentre:default');
    public $objectType = 'studentcentre.att';
    
    public function beforeSet() {
    
        $toggleActive = $this->getProperty('toggleActive');
        if (!empty($toggleActive)) {
	        if ($this->object->get('active') == 1) {
		        $this->setProperty('active', 0);
	        } else {
		        $this->setProperty('active', 1);
	        }
        }
        
        return parent::beforeSet();
    }
        
}
return 'scClassLevelCategoryUpdateProcessor';
