Kendo Multiselect Server Filtering populating values not saving

[Jose]

My Issue is that once I had upgraded to version 2017.3.913,  pre-populating the multiselect did not work.

The Ajax does return data, and throws no error when setting the value.

I have also tried a default random value to see if I could get a dummy pre selected value and nothing.

Is there another way to set value with text and id into the multiselect field.

Thank You.

Example of code below.

<table style="width:100%; margin:0px; padding:0px;">
                <tr>
                    <td style="margin:0px; padding:0px;position:relative;">
                        @(Html.Kendo().MultiSelect().Name("VesselMultiDropDown")
                            .DataTextField("Text").DataValueField("Value")
                            .Filter("contains")
                            .IgnoreCase(true)
                            .DataSource(source =>
                            {
                                source.Read(read =>
                                {
                                    read.Action("JsonGetJobVisitExporWithBarcodeStatusOnlytMultiDropDown", "DropDown").Data("getEnvironment");
                                })
                                .ServerFiltering(true);
                            })
                            .AutoClose(false)
                            .AutoBind(false)

                                    .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width:100%-22px;margin-right:22px;" })
                            .Placeholder("Select vessel...")
                        )

                    </td>
                </tr>
            </table>

 

jQuery(window).load(function () {

       $.ajax({
           url: "@Url.Action("GetSessionVessels", "Barcode")",
           type: 'POST',
           traditional: true,
           success: function (dataVessels) {

               $("#VesselMultiDropDown").data("kendoMultiSelect").value(dataVessels);

           }
       });
   });

Hello Jose,

Based on the provided snippet I have prepared a sample project. The Kendo version in the project is 2017.3.913, but I have also tested with the latest 2017.3.1026. As you could see in the linked screencast, the items in the MutliSelect are pre-selected correctly. 

The following article, regarding the pre-selection of items in MultiSelect could be helpful.

May I ask you to modify the attached sample project, reproduce the issue and attach it back for further review? This way we could examine it locally and assist you further.
