How can I make DropDownList update more than one column

[Tony H]

I have a grid with data coming from a web service, one of the columns is a DropDownList to enable the user to change the customer on a sales order (it is just a proof of concept project at the moment).  The data source for the Grid has both customer account number and customer name, but the Grid only shows the customer name, which is the column that the drop down list is on currently.  What I want to do is, when you select a new customer using the drop down list, it updates the customer account column AND the customer name column so that the grid is up to date.  Is there any easy way of doing this?

Thanks in advance,

Tony

Got it!

On your .kendoDropDownList

change: function (e) {

     options.model.fieldToChange = this.dataItem().valueFieldOfYourDropDownDataSource;

}
