datasource with filter no item selected after databound

[iDoklad]

I have a dropdownlist with remote data binding. I set up a filter on the datasource before the data is fully loaded. After data is bound to the datasource, I see my items in the list with first item selected. After upgrading kendo from 2015.1.408 to a 2017 version no item is selected after data is bound to the datastource. Is there a way to preserve the old behavior?

Example here: http://dojo.telerik.com/ItiLU Just change library to any 2017 version and the behavior changes too.

Note that I don't want to simply select the first item from the list, but my application uses Kendo MVC to choose value based on a field from the model of the view.

Hello,

In the recent Kendo UI versions filtering can be applied either as configuration of the dataSource (see this example), or in the DropDownList's dataBound event (example).

Databound evenet works just fine. Having to set a variable to prevent recursion calls of the databound event is necessary but not very pretty.

Thank you.
