Filter on template columns...

[mark]

I have a template column with a filter that is not working.  All of my other columns are filtering fine.  When I try to filter on the column below, I get an error concerning "toLowerCase" and it being a proper javascript function.

 

columns: [{

 

template: "<div style='text-align: center'><a href='/ChangeRequest/Details/#:data.request_id#'>#:data.request_id#</a></div>",

field: "request_id",

title: "No.",

 

 

width: 75,

 

filterable: false

 

 

}, {

 

//template: "<a href='/ChangeRequest/Details/#:data.request_id#'>#:data.short_description#</a>",

field: "short_description",

title: "Description",

 

 

width: 225

}, {

 

​

...more columns...

 

Error:  Unhandled exception at line 610, column 1 in Function code

0x800a01b6 - JavaScript runtime error: Object doesn't support property or method 'toLowerCase'

 

The error is in Kendo.all.min.js

 

Thanks

Hello Mark,

The reason for the issue is that a schema is not defined for the dataSource, defining the field types, which is required for the filtering to work. Here is an example that demonstrates this.
E.g.

dataSource: {
   ...
   schema: {
       model: {
           fields: {
               OrderID: { type: "number" },
               Freight: { type: "number" },
               ShipName: { type: "string" },
               OrderDate: { type: "date" },
               ShipCity: { type: "string" }
           }
       }
   }
