Failed to populate existing value to Kendo UI MultiSelect control in MVC project

[Daochuen]

Hello all,
I used Kendo UI MultiSelect and Grid  controls in my MVC project. There is one column called "Actions" with string value ( like "Read" or "Read, Create" or ...) on  the Grid. When  user click "Edit" command, Kendo MultiSelect control ( It located inside sub folder "EditorTemplates") will appear one that column to let user re-select the actions.  The code worked file except failed to populate current values  of the "Actions", I tred couples of way but no lucky so far. Can I get someone's Help?

Thanks in advance!

 

Below are pieces of code:

One of Grid columns:
columns.Bound(p => p.Actions).Width(200).Title("Actions").EditorTemplateName("Actions");

Multiple selection Control in "Actions.cshtml" view which inside "EditorTemplates" folder

@(
    Html.Kendo().MultiSelectFor(m => m)
        .Name("Actions")
        .DataTextField("Text")
        .DataValueField("Value")
        .AutoClose(false)
        .ClearButton(false)
        .BindTo(new List<SelectListItem>() {
                              new SelectListItem() {Text = "Create", Value = "1" },
                              new SelectListItem() {Text = "Read", Value = "2" },
                              new SelectListItem() {Text = "Update", Value = "3" },
                              new SelectListItem() {Text = "Delete", Value = "4" } })
)

Hi Daochuen,

Thank you for the detailed information and the code snippet. Based on the provided information I cannot be absolutely sure what is triggering the reported behavior. The configuration seems to be OK and this is why I would like to ask you for a runnable project where the issue could be reproduced.  

Some things you could try before send me a project are:

• As the partialView uses MultiSelectFor the .Name() configuration of the MultiSelectFor is not needed, so you can remove it. 
• Try moving the Actions.cshtml in the Shared folder of your project, not in EditorTemplates.

If none of the above resolve the issue, please isolate it in a runnable project and send the project back to me, so we could further investigate what is triggering the reported behavior.
Looking forward to your reply.

Hi Petar,

Thanks respond! I resolved issue by adding ID array to Kendo MultiSelet control's Value in Grid Edit event. The code like below:

            var arr = [];
           ...
           ...
            var actionsCtr = $("#Actions").data("kendoMultiSelect");
            actionsCtr.value(arr); //arr[0]="1", arr[1]="2" if Action column in grid showed as "Create,Read"
