Dynamically set cell datatype

[Blake]

I have a batch edit grid that has a rate column, some of those rates are decimals and some are percentages. I have a column that specifies what datatype it should be. Currently, based on the object given from this command:

var grid = $("#myGrid").data("kendoGrid");
console.log(grid.dataSource.options.schema.model.fields.rate);

 The type is just a number for now. I know I can add data annotations to change that, but is there a way to do this dynamically and set individual cells to different data types? Either in Javascript or possibly a template?

Hello Blake,

 

You can use the setOptions() method if you want to change options on the fly. Here is the relevant documentation:
