[Solved] Angular Kendo Grid- Issue with DropDown

[Shreesh]

Hello,

How do I receive a dropdown list Id in a Create method of the Controller? My drop list is a CategoryList and I want CategoryId. I am trying to keep my Product model flat as nesting with complex object (like Category) also did NOT work.
Let me know, whether my ParameterMap  is correct and how do I write it for a complex object, if I want to embed it ?


However,  I can get CategoryId in my Update method. Please let me how to correct the above issue?

Attached are files in a zip.

Hello Shreesh,

The problem will occur on create because the field is not defined in the model and its value will be undefined for new items. In this case the field will be bound as object and the value posted to the server will not be bound. Using the valuePrimitive option for the dropdownlist

.appendTo(container)
.kendoDropDownList({
    valuePrimitive: true,
    ...

or defining the field in the model:

model: {
    id: "ProductId",
    fields: {
        CategoryId: {type: "number"},
        ...
