Kendo Grid - losing batch edits when sorting or paging

[Michael]

Hi

I have a kendo grid implemented in html using batch editing.  Everything works fine except changes are lost when the user changes the sort order or goes to another page (ie. grid pagination).    I tried implementing client side pagination, however changes are still lost.

Is there any way to persist changes (if using client side pagination and sorting) or at least alert the user that they have unsaved changes and give them the option to save?


Thanks

Hello Michael,

Client paging/sorting with batch editing should persist changes. At least it does on the demo site:

Thank you for your help.  I have it working now.

On my dataSource, I had serverPaging set to false, however serverSorting set to true (which I noticed seemed to cause paging to happen on the server as well)  Setting both to false works.


The only issue is that the red maker indicating that the data has changed is lost - but that is minor

Thanks

Hello Michael,

Indeed the "dirty flag" will be lost on grid refresh. This behavior is by design.

I mean that the "dirty" indicator on a cell is lost when pagination or sorting changes (even though I haven't saved the pending changes yet).  However the changes are still being maintained. And if I save changes they are committed

Hello Michael,

Indeed, the dirty flag from cells is not persisted on grid refresh, however the data is still internally marked as changed and will be posted to server on DataSource.sync.

Hello,

Is there a workaround for maintaining the dirty cell marker when a cell has changed data and the grid is filtered?

I understand this is by design, but it is not desirable, as it is difficult to track the changes.

Thanks

Scratch that.  Found some other posts on the topic.  Thanks.

Hi Alex, did you find a way to persist dirty cell marker? Could you share the link?

Hello Marian,

 

There is a code-library for this - Preserve the dirty indicator in incell editing and client operations
