Cascading Doesn't Fire When Value = 0

[Nick]

I have a couple of dropdowns that are setup to cascade:

01.@(Html.Kendo().DropDownListFor(model => model.FixedMovementType)
02.                      .OptionLabel("* Not Selected")
03.                      .DataTextField("Name")
04.                      .DataValueField("Id")
05.                      .BindTo(Model.FixedMovementTypes))
06.                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.FixedMovementType, "", new {@class = "alert-error"})
07.                @(Html.Kendo().DropDownListFor(model => model.Location)
08.                    .OptionLabel("* Not Selected")
09.                    .DataTextField("Name")
10.                    .DataValueField("Id")
11.                    .DataSource(source => source.Read(read => read.Action("GetLocationsRead", "FixedMovement").Data("FilterLocation")).ServerFiltering(true))
12.                    .AutoBind(false)
13.                    .CascadeFrom("FixedMovementType"))

Example data for the first dropdown (being cascaded from):

1.{
2.Id = 0,
3.Name = "Employment"
4.},
5.{
6.Id = 1,
7.Name = "Store"
8.}

Everything is working just fine except when Employment is selected in the first dropdown this does not fire cascading.  Is it intended when the value of the dropdown is = 0 that cascading won't fire?  This seems quite silly to me because when there is nothing selected .value() returns an empty string.

Thank you Georgi,

If I am understanding you correctly then you are saying that this is an intended feature for cascading to not fire if the selected value is equal to 0?

Thank you,

Nick

Hello Nick,

 
The DropDownList should cascade when its value is 0. The described problem is a bug, which will be addressed in the next internal build of Kendo UI due the end of week. Thank you for drawing our attention to this issue. I updated your Telerik points because of the involvement.
