Edit Template Checkbox Setting

[Andrew]

Hi,

I have a value that I am reading from a database as a 1 or 0 that I want to display in a list view as YES or NO and when editing as a checkbox...

I succesfully set the template to show YES or NO by using this code:
<div>#if(sup==1){#YES#}else{#NO#}#</div>

but I can not get the edit_template to show checked when sup == 1... it always displays unchecked.
Can you help with the proper syntax to read this value for a checkbox in an edit_template?

Thank you,
Andrew

Hello Andrew,

Kendo Grid provides checkbox editing for boolean values out of the box. Configuring the same for fields of type number is not recommended - the build in checked binding works with boolean values.

I suggest you to define the field as boolean type and use the build-in editor (you can still display yes/no values through the template). At the parameterMap function of the DataSource, you can transform the boolean values into numbers and submit them to the server.

Kind regards,
