Adding a KendoUI drop-down to a custom edit template

[G]

I have a field in my Scheduler's dataSource schema that's referenced in a resource to provide custom colors to the Schedule events.  The resource gets the color definitions dynamically.   When the "editable" and "edit" properties are commented out in my example, the scheduler uses the standard edit popup, and the drop-down is populated correctly (see standardEdit.png).  When the properties are uncommented, the scheduler uses my custom definition, but the contents of the drop-down display incorrectly (see customEdit.png).  How do I define a custom template so the drop-down diaplays the same as in the standard template?

Hello Brian,

You can try setting the "dataValueField" and "dataTextField" options of the DropDownList which tells the widget which fields from the passed data should look for the text and the value. Please check the example below:

<select id="parkName" data-bind="value:parkName" data-role="dropdownlist"  data-text-field="text" data-value-field="value" data-value-primitive="true">
         </select>
