[Solved] Code broken with newest update

[Robert]

I tried updating my grid to use 2014.2.903 version of kendo.min.js and kendo.angular.min.js, but when I do, code that was working formerly no longer works.

Specifically this snippet in the initialization of grid columns is where I get an error:

filterable: {
extra: false,
cell: {
template: function (input) {
input.kendoDropDownList({

It complains that kendoDropDownList is not something that can be done to "input". Type of input shows as Object, or if you look further into the properties it is correctly identified as an INPUT.

Putting back the former *.js files returned my app to working as before.

The specific error is: Object doesn't support property or method 'kendoDropDownList'

I tried replacing all of the kendo files (I originally left the older css files) but it made no difference, same error.

Hello Bob,

Indeed, we recently introduced a change in the arguments of the template function. The function now provides access both to the element and to the suggestion DataSource, so initializing the DropDownList could be done as follows: 

template: function (options) {
    options.element.kendoDropDownList({

Hi Alexander,

So where would one regularly access a list of breaking changes? I lost several hours on Tuesday assuming I was doing something wrong since there was no "breaking changes" list offered up  when I installed 2014 Q2 SP1.

Thanks, Bob

I apologize for the inconvenience we have caused you Bob. The breaking changes are listed in the release notes, although I have to admit we missed this one.
