Kendo Grid - Update in cell edit data

[Michael]

I have editable grid and wants to update (using Rest API) edited value in two cases 1) Call update function  in specific time interval 2)  Call update function when cell focus out.

I have separate JavaScript function to update remote data.

How to achieve this?

Hello, Michael,

Regarding the requirements.

1) The sync method can be called inside an interval function. Please have in mind that if there are any updates, the Grid will be re-rendered and this may lead to loss of information if the user is currently editing a cell when the interval update occurs:

2) When the edited cell is focused out, this will trigger the save event, and on the save event the sync method can be called:

I hope this is helpful.

Is there any events instead of sync method to update in specific time intervals?

Save method doesn't have updated cell value at first time?

Hello, Michael,

The saveChanges method can be called, but this will just call sync internally:

https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid#methods-saveChanges

Could you please provide more details about the scenario where the cell value was not updated? Please have in mind that the cell will be updated only after the blur is fired, as this will notify the dataSource for the change.
