Error trying to post nested view model

[Gary]

I am getting the error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'field' of undefined 

in the kendo.all.min.js file when trying to post a view model with nested objects. 

I have created a jsfiddle to repro the issue, I don't think I'm describing it very well, so take a look, it is short.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Gary

Hi,

 This is caused by the fact that the toJSON method is not recursive right now. We decided to implement this for the next internal build.

 As a workaround you could call toJSON of the nested objects: http://jsfiddle.net/bNBUP/1/

Thanks for the reply and explanation.  I ended up falling back to JSON.stringify (which is completely fine in my opinion - no need for you to reinvent the wheel) since in my real world case the objects were nested several objects deep.

Was this addressed or where can I find an internal build? I couldn't seem to find it for the Kendo UI builds in my subscription. I see where I can download Telerik ASP.NET Ajax internal builds as well as others...

The following was what I ended up implementing to get around the current issue. I do not know what type of model I will be submitting as it is generic and a pass through for any type:

var tempData = viewModel.toJSON();

$.each(tempData, function (i, v) {

     if (v && typeof (v) == "object") {

          tempData[i] = tempData[i].toJSON();

     }

});

return tempData;

This only goes down one level. A recursive function would need to be used to traverse further. Do you know when it is planned to make toJSON() a recursive call?

Hi Kevin,

 You could download the latest internal build from the corresponding page on kendoui.com (you have to be logged in): http://www.kendoui.com/account/your-products/product-versions/single-download.aspx?pmvid=2784&pid=949
