[Solved] In the Grid control with in-cell editing, how to move a javascript variable to the grid DefaultDataItem?

[Jeff]

      Html.Telerik().Grid<ADTO>()
                        .Name("Grid")
                        .Editable(editing => editing.Mode(GridEditMode.InCell)
                            .DefaultDataItem(new ADTO
                            {
                                Name = selectedFeatureName <= "this need to be from the javascript variable selectedFeatureName 
below",
                            })

......

<script type="text/javascript">
    var selectedFeatureName; <== this is the variable the need to be moved to the Name field above.

Hello Jeff,

If the property isn't bound to the first column which is put in edit mode when adding a row, you can set the default value in the editing defaultDataItem client-side property e.g.

var grid = $("#Grid").data("tGrid");
grid.editing.defaultDataItem.Name = selectedFeatureName;

If it is bound to the first column, you should use the OnEdit client-side event to set the value to the input because the editor is created when initializing the Grid.

Kind regards,
