Some AutoCompletes in Wizard in Grid Edit Popup not working

I've got a grid that uses a Kendo Wizard in the grid edit popup window. The first step in the wizard has 3 AutoComplete controls (among other controls). The first 2 AutoCompletes do not save the value selected back to the model and grid, but the 3rd one does and they're all configured exactly the same. The code was working before we upgraded to 2024.3.806. Are there breaking changes for the wizard or AutoComplete in this release? A demo for this kind of scenario would be helpful because I inherited this code, and I'm not even sure if it was done correctly. Here is a sample of the js that defines the grid and the wizard (in the grid edit method):

$gridDiv.kendoGrid({
autoBind: true,
columns: [
{
field: "DealNumber",
title: "Deal Number",
filterable: {
extra: false,
operators: {
string: { contains: "contains" }
}
},
sortable: true,
template: 'dealUrl',
editable: () => false
},
{
field: "CustomerName",
title: Customer Name",
filterable: {
extra: false,
operators: {
string: { contains: "contains" }
}
},
sortable: true
},
{
field: "SalesPersonName",
title: "Sales Person",
filterable: {
extra: false,
operators: {
string: { contains: "contains" }
}
},
sortable: true
},
{
field: "CreatedDate",
type: "date",
title: "Created Date",
sortable: true,
filterable: true,
format: "{0: M/d/yyyy}",
width: 100,
editable: function () { return false; }
}
],
editable: {
mode: "popup",
window: {
title: "Add/Edit",
width: "500px"
}
},
edit: function (e) {
const popupWindow = e.container.data("kendoWindow");
popupWindow.center();

let model = e.model;

$(e.container).kendoWizard({
pager: true,
done: function (e) {
e.preventDefault();

$gridDiv.dataSource.sync();

$($(".k-popup-edit-form")[0]).data("kendoWindow").close();

Unable to Retrieve Data from Hidden jQuery AutoComplete

Hello,

I'm trying to retrieve data from the kendoAutoComplete component, but I'm encountering an issue when the input is hidden.

The happy path works perfectly when the input is visible. For example:

<input id="test">

var data = ["One", "Two"];
$("#test1").kendoAutoComplete({
dataSource: data
});

$("#test1").data('kendoAutoComplete').dataSource.data() // return ["One", "Two"]

However, the problem arises when the input is not visible (e.g., using style="display: none;"). I use the same code, but when I call the data() method, it does not return the original data. Instead, it returns undefined until I make the input visible again and reload the data source. Only then does it start working correctly.

Example:

<input id="test" style="display: none;>

var data = ["One", "Two"];
$("#test1").kendoAutoComplete({
dataSource: data
});

$("#test1").data('kendoAutoComplete').dataSource.data() // return "undefined"

Is there a workaround or specific configuration to ensure the data() method behaves as expected, even when the input is hidden?

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Search bar loses focus when the first character typed in it

I am trying to implement kendo autocomplete and I am new to Kendo. When the user enters a character query is taken and a list is made using the database and returned to the view. Everything works fine except when the first character is typed search box loses its focus and I need to click on the search box again to type more characters. For some reason also other buttons gets doubled pic below

Here is my code

 $("#query").keyup(e => {
        e.preventDefault();
        if (e.keyCode === 13) {
            $("#btnSearch").click();
        }

        let ds = new DataServices(`${bc.apiBaseUrl}TrendStations/SearchAutoComplete`);
        let xhr = ds.GetData({ query: $("#query").val() });
        $('#query').attr('autocomplete', 'CUSTOM');
        xhr.done((results) => {
            if (results != null) {
                var data = results;
                $("#query").kendoAutoComplete({
                    dataSource: data,
                    filter: "startswith",
                    placeholder: "Enter your search here...",
                    separator: ", "
                });

            } else {
                window.location.reload();
            }


        }).fail(ex => {
            new ErrorHandler().HandleError(ex);
        });
    });
 
I have looked for an answer but no luck! anybody knows what is going on?

Can I use AutoComplete within ListView?

We're still getting used to using Telerik's Kendo UI for jQuery. So far, we've only used one component, AutoComplete. Which works great, BTW!

There's something we'd like to do, but don't know how to do. On an ASP.NET MVC Core page (.NET 6) we want to be able to allow the user to enter multiple items of the same type. It seems like either the Grid or ListView Kendo components would work. Personally, I'm favoring the ListView. But we also need to use AutoComplete work when the user is entering values to a new row. So, for example, we need to collect LotNumber and ProgramName, multiple times, because there can be and often is, multiple items to be entered, along with other details on the same page. I've looked at the ListView component, the Add method, etc. In the example given, it references an identified (by using the HTML id property) control on the page. So, how does one apply AutoComplete to both LotNumber and ProgramName, when entering a new LotNumber/ProgramName pair in a ListView?
