Datasource Filters Cleared on AutoComplete Search

[Brad]

When I set a filter on the datasource used by my autocomplete widget, the filter seems to be cleared the moment you search inside the autocomplete. Is there a way to override this functionality? I have a grid that I am filtering in several different ways and I want the autocomplete data to be updated to show these other filters. Code can be found below.

    var ds = new kendo.data.DataSource({data: createRandomData(50)})

    //create AutoComplete UI component
    var autoComplete = $("#input").kendoAutoComplete({
        dataSource: ds,
        dataTextField: 'FirstName',
        filter: "startswith",
        placeholder: "Search by First Name..."
    });
    var grid = $('#grid').kendoGrid({
        dataSource: ds,
        columns: [
            {field: 'FirstName', title: 'First Name'}
        ]
    });
    
    ds.filter([{ field: "FirstName", operator: "contains", value: "La" }]);

The filter I manualy add in is automatically removed the moment I begin typing inside the autocomplete where instead I want to simply add an additional filter using the autocomplete. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Hello Brad,

 Indeed when the data source is shared filtering the combobox would filter the grid as well. If this is not wanted you may consider using two separate datasources.
