change event not raised when defined in the model definition

[fbaptiste]

on version 2014.2.1008, I have the following simplified model definition:

var MyModel = kendo.data.Model.define({
    id: "MyModelID",

    // events
    change: function (e) {
        // do smth here
    },

    set: function (field, value) {
        // do smth here
    }
}

while the set event is being triggered as expected, the change event does not.
however, it does trigger when i define it outside of the definition scope as follows:

myModel = new MyModel(obj);
myModel.bind("change", function (e) {
    //do smth here
});

I'm trying to keep the logic of models grouped together, and that's why i'd rather use the first implementation. any solutions for this?

Hello Fred,

the model definition does not accept change event handlers in its definition. This seems a bit inconsistent with the widget behavior - I will log it for further consideration from our development team.
