How to set Grid column defaultvalue at run time

[Daochuen]

Hello,

I tried to set Grid column defaultvalue at run time as below code. but "Jenny" does not display in "FirstName" column when I add new record. Could anyone give me advice how to do it?  Thanks in advance.

in .cshtml file:
 .Edit("onEdit");

In javascript:

   function onEdit(e) {
        if (e.model.isNew()) {
          
            e.model.set("FirstName", "Jenny");
         
        }
   }

Hi,

I have tested the same on my end and it appears to work as expected.

Is it possible that the FirstName field is configured as not editable?

e.g.

model.Field(p => p.FirstName).Editable(false);
