Hello Peter,
Making the option select based on the row item cannot be done in such way , because to make an item initially selected you need to add the selected option to its list.
However if you use the Kendo DropDownList you can achieve it like this:
Of course you will need to once again use the
change event of the DropDownList to manually update the underlying
dataitem with the selected value of the
DropDownList.
Kind Regards,
