Can I disable the details template for a new row in the outer Kendo grid?

[Patrick]

 I have a grid with a details template (i.e outer grid with an inner grid).

My outer grid has "Create" functionality. When I add a new row I am able to expand the inner grid before saving, and this causes an error in the backend, because the new row is not saved and does not have an id yet.

Is there a way to disable the details (inner grid expansion) for a new row?

Hello Patrick,


To achieve this, you should bind to the edit event of the Grid, which is fired when the Grid enters edit mode. In the event handler you could check if the model is new (i.e. the current operation is create and not update) and prevent the click of the hierarchy cell.
E.g.

function edit(e) {
    if (e.model.isNew()) {
        $(".k-grid-edit-row").on("click", ".k-hierarchy-cell", function (e) {
            e.stopPropagation();
        });
    }
}

I hope that this information was helpful for you.
