Kendo Grid ForeignKey column with a DropDownList control is not triggering the onChange event

[Ronan]

After upgrading Kendo MVC from v2021.2.616 to v2024.2.514 (KendoUIProfessional), the dropdownlist "SeriesType" on the grid is not firing the onChange event anymore. I saw an error message in the browser console.

Can you guys suggest a migration solution for it? Thanks!
