extjs4 ajax api store update - extjs4

Question

I'm trying to update my store and then database after using cellediting and a combobox in a gridpanel to update a record. The update operation.action in the ajax proxy is firing correctly, it just that the store and the grid aren't syncronizing, and the post tab in firebug says my json looks like this: 'data []'. How do I get the store record to create the json and update the record? Thanks for looking at this in advance...

In order to update correctly your ajax or rest call have to return an array containing the updated records, even if it's a single record, you have to return it inside an array, a sample json response (for the rest proxy) should be like this:
[{'id': 1, 'name': 'test', 'foo': 'bar'}]
