Dirty flag remains when the user reverts the changes manually before saving

[Kaan]

Hi!

Example: https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-core/grid/editing

When the user changes the first product name from "Chai" to "Chai2", and then back again to "Chai" without clicking on "Save changes", the dirty flag stays visible, and unchanged data is transferred to the server when clicking on "Save changes".

Is it possible to change this grid editing behaviour? In comparison, in inline editing mode, data is sent to the server when clicking on "Update" only when the data has really changed.

 

Best regards,

Kaan

Hi Kaan,

When the "InCell" editing mode of the Kendo UI Grid is used and a change occurs to any of the data items, they are added to the dirtyFields object. Also, the k-dirty-cell class is added. Currently, there is not an automatic process which deletes the modified field from the object, hence, the flag will be applied even though the value has not been changed.

We have created a Knowledge Base article which covers in details how to handle this scenario and remove the dirty indicator:

https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/knowledge-base/grid-remove-dirty-indicator-when-value-is-original-state

Let me know in case additional clarifications are needed.


Kind regards,
