Datasource and validation

[Felipe Casanova]

Is there a way to change the validation on a field in the datasource after the datasource has been bound to a grid?

These two approaches don't work although I see the properties get updated.

var datasource = $("#customers").data("kendoGrid").dataSource;

datasource.options.schema.model.fields.Forename.validation = { required: false };

datasource.options.schema.model.fields.Surname.validation.required = false;

 

$("#customers").data("kendoGrid").refresh();

Hello Matt,

  The model of the data gets what you set via the dataSource options and it is not possible to change it. In order to achieve the needed functionality I would suggest to use a custom validator and to change the validation when some condition is triggered.
