PopUp not working for adding new entry

[Christos]

Hello,

I created an edit-pop up template for a grid and when I try to edit the entry, the pop up works great. But the template is not loading when I click to add a new entry.

e.g.

Html.Kendo().Grid<Areas.TestArea.Models.RoleBasicFunctions>()
                                                .Name("RoleBasicFunctions")
                                               .Columns(columns =>
                                               {
                                                           columns.Bound(p => p.RoleBasicFunctionsID).Title("ID").Visible(false);
                                                           columns.Bound(p => p.EntityBasicInformation.EntityType.EntityTypeName).Title("Entity Name").HeaderHtmlAttributes(new { style = "white-space: normal" });
                                                           columns.Bound(p => p.EntityBasicInformation.Name).Title("Name").HeaderHtmlAttributes(new { style = "white-space: normal" });
                                                           columns.Command(command => { command.Edit().Text(" "); }).Width(80);
                                                       })
                                                .Pageable()
                                                .Sortable()
                                                .Scrollable()
                                                .Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.PopUp).DisplayDeleteConfirmation(false).TemplateName("EditRoleBasicFunctions").Window(ww => ww.Title("Edit").Width(1800)))
                                                .ToolBar(toolbar => toolbar.Create())
                                                .Filterable()
                                                .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource.Ajax()
                                                .Model(model =>
                                                {
                                                            model.Id(p => p.RoleBasicFunctionsID);
                                                        })
                                                .Read(read => read.Action("RoleBasicFunctionsGrid_Read", "Test").Data("additionalData")))

Hello Christos,

Would you specify default values for the fields bound to the Grid columns and see how the behavior changes? In case the issue persists please open the browser console by pressing F12 and see if there are errors listed. In case there are that can point us in the right direction.

Additionally it would be great if you can send us a runnable sample where the issue is replicated. This will enable us to examine the behavior locally and look for its cause.

Dear Viktor,

 

thank you for your reply. The error listed is:

VM4145:3 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'EntityType' of undefined

Best Regards,

Christos

Hello Christos,

Would you set a default value for EntityBasicInformation in the DataSource Model configuration? The configuration would look similar to the one for the Category field in the example below:

• https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/grid/editing-custom

.Model(model =>
{
    model.Id(p => p.RoleBasicFunctionsID);
    model.Field(p => p.RoleBasicFunctionsID).Editable(false);
    model.Field(p => p.EntityBasicInformation).DefaultValue(
        ViewData["defaultBasicInformation"] as Areas.TestArea.Models.EntityBasicInformationModel);
})

That said, it would be great if you send us a runnable sample where the error is replicated. This will enable us to examine the issue locally and look for its cause.
