model.Field(field => field.NoReference).DefaultValue("Test") not Working (string type)

[Louis]

Hello,

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<Myproject.Areas.Maintenance.ViewModels.EquipementsInterventions.EquipementInterventionModel>()
            .Name("EquipementIntervention")
            .Columns(columns =>
            {
                columns.Bound(p => p.NoReference).Width(60);
                columns.Bound(p => p.DateIntervention).Format("{0:yyyy-MM-dd}").Width(60).HtmlAttributes(new { style = "text-align:center" });
            })
            .ToolBar(toolBar =>
            {
                toolBar.Create();
                toolBar.Save();
            })
            .Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.InCell))
            .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "font-size:11px;height: 300px;" })
            .Scrollable()
            .Selectable(s => s.Enabled(false))
            .Pageable(pageable => pageable
            .Refresh(true)
            .ButtonCount(5))
            .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
                .Ajax()
                .Batch(true)
                .ServerOperation(false)
                .PageSize(100)
                .Model(model =>
                {
                    model.Id(field => field.NoEquipementIntervention);
                    model.Field(field => field.NoReference).DefaultValue("Test");
                    model.Field(field => field.DateIntervention).DefaultValue(System.DateTime.Now);
                })
                .Read(read => read.Action("Read", "Equipements", new { id = Model.EquipementId }))
                .Create(create => create.Action("Create", "Equipements", new { id = Model.EquipementId }))
                .Update(update => update.Action("Update", "Equipements"))
                .Destroy(destroy => destroy.Action("Destroy", "Equipements"))
            )
)

I try to set a default value when I add a new item in my grid.  Even with a hard coded value like "Test".  I have the same situation with a DateTime? field until I remove the ?.  Any idea about the NoReference (string) field?

The model :

[Key]
public Guid NoId { get; set; }

[Required]

public string NoReference { get; set; }

[UIHint("Date")]
[Required]
public DateTime DateIntervention { get; set; }

 

The Grid :

 

 

THANK A LOT TO EVERYONE.

Hi Louis,

 

There is a known issue in the latest release that is prevents the default value from being applied. The issue has been fixed and will not be present in the upcoming release that is scheduled for mid-September. 

Until then, if you would like to test the fix I suggest downloading the latest internal build of the components. You can get it from the download section on telerik.com after logging in.

 

Give the internal build a try and let me know how it works for you.
