ComboBox EditorTemplate not updating model when click to select

[Shrinand]

I have a column with combobox as editor template. If I type name, it'll select the item and update the model when lost focus. But if I mouse click on an item, it will blank the field.

column binding:

columns.Bound(c => c.ServiceCompany).EditorTemplateName("SharedNameComboBox");

 

template:

<script>
    function onSelect(e) {
        e.sender.value(e.dataItem);
        e.sender.trigger("change");
    }
</script>

@(
Html.Kendo().ComboBox()
    .HtmlAttributes(new { data_bind = "value: " + ViewData.TemplateInfo.HtmlFieldPrefix})
    .Name(ViewData.TemplateInfo.HtmlFieldPrefix)
    .Filter(FilterType.StartsWith)
    .Suggest(true)
    .BindTo(ViewData as IEnumerable<string>)
    .Events(e => e.Select("onSelect"))
)

 

How can I update model upon mouse-click?

Hello,

Are there any errors in the console? Also I noticed that the ComboBox is bound to a list of strings. Given this the value of the widget should be set to the selected string and there should be no need of setting the value of the widget in the select handler. Just in case you can try to set the ValuePrimitive(true) option for the Kendo UI ComboBox for ASP.NET MVC.
