Grid with cascading dropDownList editors

[Dimitris]

Hi,

I have configured cascading dropdown editors in Kendo Grid (inline editing) following this example http://www.telerik.com/support/code-library/cascading-dropdownlist-editors#boGvza6aG2OF1P8AAFTdxQ .

The changes I made are to use kendo v2013.3.1119, jquery v2.0.3 and to define option labels for both dropdown editors (see attached example).
The issue I'm facing is the following:
The user selected the option label in the first dropdown (Brand) and the second cascaded dropdown (Model) is correctly populated with its option label. When the user clicks on the button "Update", then it seems that the value of the cascaded dropdown is not saved in the grid's model and the grid displays the previous value.

Is there a way to resolve this issue?

Regards,
Dimitris

Hi Dimitris,

I have already answered your question in the other thread that you have opened, but I will copy my answer here as well.

The behavior that you observe is expected. The optionLabel is an element with no value, so the model of the Grid does not have values passed and not updated accordingly. If you want to select the option label as a value, you should better add it as a standard element of the DropDownList that can be selected and updated in the Grid correctly.
