The automatic edit form provided by the RadGrid creates a control for each item in the datasource... If I need to change the control type of one of these items, for example, change a standard TextBox to a DropDownList that has its own datasource, do I have to abandon the automatic edit form totally and use Templates?
thanks,

Hello Michael Malone,
You do not need to use a template edit form in order to use a different column editor for a specific column. The easiest approach would be to use a template column and declare the desired editor in its EditItemTemplate. For more information I would suggest that you review the "UnitPrice" column from the following online demo:
Automatic operations
I hope this helps,
