Kendo Autocomplete throwing [object Object] when used in grid column editor

[Kushan]

I am using kendo grid column editor to get autocomplete values in each cell in a column.

If my selected text is digit, then its selecting [object Object] for the first time and after that if I select again different digit, it will select the digit.

And it doesn't happens with the alphabet/alphanumeric text values.

In the below code, If I am selecting "50", it is giving [object Object].

And if I am selecting Test 65/ Test, it will not change.

And if I add space in text ("50 "), them this value will also not change.

please check and resolve the issue.

 

$('<input data-text-field="text" data-value-field="value" data-bind="value:' + options.field + '"/>')
            .appendTo(container)
            .kendoAutoComplete({
                autoBind: false,
                suggest: true,
                filter: "contains",
                index: 1,
                minLength: 1,
                dataSource: [
                    { text: "50", value: "50"},
                    { text: "60", value: "60" },
                    { text: "Test 65", value: "65" },
                    { text: "Test", value: "23" },
                    { text: "64", value: "64" },
                    { text: "20", value: "20" }
                ]
            });

Hello Kushan,

In general, the AutoComplete widget works with a single data item field. This means that the selected value is directly set to the model field. Refer to the following HowTo example that demonstrates how to bind the AutoComplete as a Grid editor:

• https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/controls/data-management/grid/how-to/Editing/custom-editor-autocomplete

Also, If you would like to work with <value, text> pairs, the recommended approach is to use the ComboBox, DropDownList, or MultiSelect instead of an AutoComplete widget.

Hi Dimitar,

Thanks for the reply.

I tried with a single data item field also.

But was facing same problem.

Can you just create a code in dojo and show me if number it will take.

Because I tried and giving me same in single data item field.
