Grid datasource create event fired twice

[DevGuy]

I am using the popup feature of kendoui grid to add/edit a record. The kendoui version that I am using is 2013.2.823. I find that whenever I click the "update" button to create/edit a record the create event is fired twice (see attached image). Any help would be much appreciated.

Soure Code:

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<GroupModel>()
           .Name("grid")
               //.HtmlAttributes(new{style="display:block"})
           .ToolBar(toolbar => toolbar.Create())
           .EnableCustomBinding(false)
           .PrefixUrlParameters(false)
           .AutoBind(true)
               //.Events(e => e.DataBound("grid_DataBound"))
           .Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.PopUp).DisplayDeleteConfirmation(true).CreateAt(GridInsertRowPosition.Top))
               //.Events(e=>e.Edit("grid_onEdit"))
           .Pageable(p => p.Enabled(true).PageSizes(new[] { 10, 20, 30 }).Refresh(true).PreviousNext(true).ButtonCount(4).Info(true).Numeric(true))
           .Navigatable(n => n.Enabled(true))
           .Resizable(r => r.Columns(true))
           .Scrollable(s => s.Height("auto"))
           .Selectable(s => s.Enabled(false).Mode(GridSelectionMode.Single).Type(GridSelectionType.Row))
           //.ClientDetailTemplateId("template")
           //.RowAction(row => { })
           .Sortable(sorting =>
           {
               sorting.SortMode(GridSortMode.SingleColumn);
               sorting.Enabled(true);
           })
           .Filterable(filterable => filterable

                                                                   .Contains("Contains")

I am having this same issue. Any ideas why my Create action of the grid is posting twice to my controller?

[Stefan]

Hello, Femi,

In general, such issue can occur if the ID is not correctly set in the dataSource or the Grid does not receive a success callback with the new records.

Please check if the first request receives a success callback with the ID before the second request is made.

I can suggest checking our article for the CRUD operations as it contains the required steps when binding the Grid:

https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/framework/datasource/crud

https://docs.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/helpers/grid/editing/ajax-editing

If the issue still occurs, please provide a fully runnable example and I will gladly assist further.

Stefan
