BatchEdit Command event, does not contain newvalues for RadDropDownList

Here is the ASPX code:

New values for "StaffMemberID" is always "" but should be the selected value of the RadDropDownList, oldvalues does not even contain this item.

I am also using Telerik version: 2015.2.317.0, I checked the changelog and this should not make a difference should it?

[Adam]

I updated to the most recent version and this issue is still happening...

[Adam]

This seems to be an issue with the raddropdownlist not getting bound to the GridTemplateColumn... anyone have a solution to this?

[Adam]

I fixed this myself by changing the raddropdownlist to an asp:dropdownlist... good job telerik...
