Is there a way to retrieve the Identity value after Create operation?

[Wayne]

I need to get the row identity value of the newly created record so that I can tie it to other data. How can I extract the results in the change event?

For example...

var dsEmployee = new kendo.data.DataSource({
 type: "odata",
 transport: {
  read: {
   url: baseUrl + "/DataService.svc/Employees",
   dataType: "json"
  },
  create: {
   url: baseUrl + "/DataService.svc/Employees",
   type: "POST",
   dataType: "json"
  },
  update: {
   url:  function (o) {
    return baseUrl + "/DataService.svc/Employees(" + o.EmployeeId + ")"
   },type: "PUT",
   dataType: "json"
  }
 },
 schema: {
  model: Employee
 },change: function (e) {
  ...
 
 }
}

Hi Wayne,

In order to get the id of the newly inserted record after sync operation, you should re-retrieve the model instance by its uid. Here you can find a basic sample which demonstrates this approach. 

All the best,
