At this point, we're more curious about what changed and why. It worked in our current version (2015.1.408), but no longer works.
Is this an intentional change (so we must adapt our code) or is it a bug that will be fixed in the future?
Here's a quick sample of what works in 2015.1.408:
01.<div id="details">
02. <div data-role="multiselect"
03. data-value-primitive="true"
04. data-text-field="Name"
05. data-value-field="Id"
06. data-bind="source: Values, value: SelectedValueId">
07. </div>
08.</div>
09.
10.<script>
11.var model = new kendo.data.Model({
12. Values: [
13. { Id: 1, Name: 'test1' } ,
14. { Id: 2, Name: 'test2' }
15. ],
16. SelectedValueId: 1
17.});
18.
19.kendo.bind("#details", model);
20.</script>
