I am trying to add and remove listbox items via modifying the select tag it is based off of when initilizing. So when a user presses a button it will add options tags to the select and when the user presses another button it should refresh the listbox with the new items added by the user. For some reason I cannot get it to work. I've tried destroy() and then remaking the listboxes but that only gives me an empty listbox with no controls. Any help would be appreciated thank you

Hi David,
I have noticed that the provided Dojo sample throws an error and it is because of the implementation of the "submit" button click handler. I am not completely sure why would you like to delete the items of the ListBox widgets. Could you provide more information on the same?
As per the editing of the items in the ListBox widgets, it is recommended to use one shared data source and handle the add and remove events. Within their handlers, update the data source. An example could be found here:

Hi David,
Just to recap the whole scenario, you would like to have a data item inside the DropDownList. This data item should have a collection of permissions. After that, one of the ListBox widgets should have all of the permissions excluding the ones from the data item and the other should have the permissions of the data item. Is that correct?
Whenever a change in the selected data item is present, you should alternate the data source of the respective ListBox widgets. You should alternate the data of the ListBox widgets by passing the collection of permissions to the data() method of the respective data source:
$($0).getKendoListBox().dataSource.data(array); // pass the collection of permissions hereYou would have to apply the same approach for the other widget by subtracting the permissions that the item already has.
All the other logic for editing should happen inside the add and remove events of the ListBox widgets. In case additional clarifications are needed, feel free to get back to me.

Hello David,
The behavior you describe can be observed when a widget is bound to complex objects. In that scenario the respective widget can be configured to specify what field will be used for displaying and for a value.
The properties are called dataTextField and dataValueField. They have corresponding counterparts in the DropDownList as well and work the same way.
