Set default owner for new event

[Jimmy]

Hi

I have a custom editable template and i would like to the owner to default owner, no selection. I have below code in the custom template but the value is not posted back to server during ajax call.  can someone advice ?

 

<div data-container-for="OwnerName" class="k-edit-field" id="owner">
    <input type="text" class="k-input k-textbox" name="ownername" id="ownername" data-bind="value:OwnerName" disabled>
    <input type="hidden" name="ownerId" data-bind="value:OwnerID" id="ownerId">
</div>

<script>

    $(function () {

        if (!$("\\\#title").val()) {
            var viewModel = kendo.observable({
                OwnerName: "Tester",
                ownerId: "TS0001"
            });
            kendo.bind($("\\\#owner"), viewModel);
        }

    });

</script>
