Is there a way to chunk batch mode?

[Christopher]

We are utilizing the datasource for some spreadsheet editing, and there is a possibility that the user can potentially update 1000s of rows at once. In batch mode everything works great but we are running into a reasonable upper limit of the request size to the server per sync.

Is there a way to chunk the batch mode so it limits each request to a certain number of changes?

If not can you think of a strategy or place to begin looking functionality-wise?

Hello Christopher,

The Spreadsheet widget does not offer such inbuilt functionality, where you can limit the size of the requests. However, you can try configuring it through the web.config and set some user-friendly error in case of max size exceed:

Hope this would help.

Sorry, I was just mentioning the spreadsheet, my question was actually about kendo's data source's, specifically in batch mode. But it sounds like it's not really supported. Would be a great enhancement though.

Hello Christopher,

Indeed, the functionality is not supported with the kendo DataSource. You can submit a feature request in our public portal, and base on the demand and votes, the integration could be considered.
