[Solved] Dropdownlist not showing up in all rows in kendo grid detailInit grid

[John]

I am running into an issue when adding a dropdownlist to my grid in my detailInit grid. When I select a row, the dropdownlists are in there, but when I select another row, then the dropdownlist's don't appear.
However, if I select the 3rd row, I get the dropdownlists appearing and they will appear in the 2nd and 1rst row, but not the fourth.
Why is this happening and how do I fix it so that regardless which row I select, that all the rows will have the dropdownlists?

Below is my testing code

 

<script type="text/x-kendo-template" id="EditAreaGridToolbarTemplate">
        <button class="btn btn-sm btn-primary" id="btnAddNewArea"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i></button>
        <button id="btnDeleteArea" class="btn btn-sm btn-danger"><i class="fa fa-remove"></i></button>
    </script>
    <div id="TabEditor"></div>

var dropdownData = [{
    "CatalogID": 1,
    "NameVersion": "Catalog1"
  },
  {
    "CatalogID": 2,
    "NameVersion": "Catalog2"
  },
  {
    "CatalogID": 3,
    "NameVersion": "Catalog3"
  },
  {
    "CatalogID": 4,
    "NameVersion": "Catalog4"
  },
];

$(document).ready(function() {

  //#region Data

  var data2 = [{
      "RoomID": 1,
      "RoomName": "Room 1",
      "Areas": [{
        "id": 1,
        "AreaName": "Area 1"
      }, {
        "id": 10,
        "AreaName": "Area 10"
      }]
    },
    {
      "RoomID": 2,
      "RoomName": "Room 2",
      "Areas": [{
        "id": 2,
        "AreaName": "Area 2"
      }, {
        "id": 20,
        "AreaName": "Area 20"
      }]
    },
    {
      "RoomID": 3,
      "RoomName": "Room 3",
      "Areas": [{
        "id": 3,
        "AreaName": "Area 3"
      }, {
        "id": 30,
        "AreaName": "Area 30"
      }, {
        "id": 35,
        "AreaName": "Area 35"
      }]
    },
    {
      "RoomID": 4,
      "RoomName": "Room 4",
      "Areas": [{
        "id": 4,
        "AreaName": "Area 4"
      }, {
        "id": 40,
        "AreaName": "Area 40"
      }]
    }
  ];

  //#endregion

  ShowTabEditor(data2);

Hi John,

I examined the provided code, and I believe that the problem comes from the fact that the jQuery selector in the "abindCatalogDropDownInCellProcess" is looking for inputs inside the parent Grid, and it is reinitializing the DropDowns from the other Child Grids. A better approach is to look only in the current Child Grid. For example:

//...
          },
          dataBound: function(e) {
            abindCatalogDropDownInCellProcess(e);
          }
        });
      }

      function abindCatalogDropDownInCellProcess(e) {
        e.sender.element.find("td input.edit-area-catalog-dropdown").each(function() {
          $(this).kendoDropDownList({
//...

I hope this helps. Do not hesitate to write back if I can assist you any further.
