How to declaratively set MVVM data column template to external template?

[Nikola]

Hello,

I am struggling with declarative setting grid column to a external template

Here's my template

<script type="text/x-kendo-template" id="someTemplate">
    <div>
        <label> ${firstName}</label>
        <label>${lastName}</label>
    </div>
</script>

and here's the grid declaration

<div data-role="grid" data-bind="source: people" data-columns='[
    {"field": "firstName",
     "title": "Full Name",
     "template": "kendo.template($("#someTemplate"))"
    }
]'></div>

And here's JS Fiddle reproducing my problem

Anyone knowing how to fix that JS fiddle? :)

Hi Nikola,

Thank you for getting in touch with us.
I am afraid that what you would like to achieve is not supported at present. If the declarative initialization is used, the column template should be set to an inline string. Data attributes are not JavaScript, which is why calling kendo.template will not work.

Hi Alexander,

funny thing is that I already got my answer on SO and it works :)
