kendoDropDownList in edit mode to retain the value and validate

[spidy]

I am using kendoDropDownList in a kendogrid.
Now when I edit that row by calling 

    grid.editRow(tr);

function, row opens for Edit.

Its shows kendoDropDownList in edit mode but its not able to retain the original value.

I tried using databound event to select original value 

    let input = $('<input name= "' + options.field + '" required = "required"/>');
        input.attr('id', options.field);
        input.attr('data-text-field', 'Name');
        input.attr('data-value-field', 'Name');
        input.attr('data-bind', 'value:' + options.field);
        input.width(container.width());
        input.appendTo(container);
        input.kendoDropDownList({
          autoBind: false,
          dataTextField: 'Name',
          dataValueField: 'Name',
          optionLabel: 'Select',
          dataBound: (e) => {
            $('#' + options.field).data('kendoDropDownList').value(options.model.dropDownValue) ;
          },
          dataSource: {
            data: this.list
          }
        });

If I do this and just call validate 

    $('#grid').kendoValidator().data('kendoValidator').validate();

It shows me validation message for kendoDropDownList.

Since when I open in edit mode, I am setting value of dropdownlist. So why its showing validation message even if its value is set in databound event.

Am I doing something wrong here?

 

Is there an example for kendogrid containing kdropdownlist and doing validation in edit mode.

Hello Spidy,

As far as I understand you need to set programmatically different value to a cell with custom editor. If this is the case, you could try using the model. The model is available within the edit event arguments (e.model). 

e.model.set("Category.CategoryName", "Produce");

I have prepared a Dojo example. In the sample there is a Grid with inline editing and DropDownList as a custom editor for one of the columns. When the Grid is loaded, the editRow method is called for the third row. The value in the 'Category' column is changed to 'Produce'.
