kendo model validation issue for grid detail template

[Zinith Patel]

I have bound kendo grid using MVVM. In model I have defined required validation for FirstName field.
I have set editable=true for kendo grid.
If user will set blank value for FirstName, validation is fired and working fine.
But when I set detail template for grid and bind data to detail template on detailInit method of kendo grid, required validation is not working.
Is there any solution for this situation.

Hi Zinith,

The issue that you are facing is expected. The problem comes from the fact that when you edit the detail element (the input) and you blur it, the grid is automatically being redrawn and the validation is omitted. What you can do is to get a copy of the value using the toJSON() method, but then you will need to create a custom implementation that will copy the data from the input back to the model. Please check the following example:
