Setting a value from a function

[sitefinitysteve]

Here's the scenario...I have a button on my model....essentially a toggle.  However the model STATE should only change if the $.ajax call returns success...so this is what I tried

viewModel = kendo.observable({

        releaseMe: function (item) {

            release(item);

        }   

    });

 

function release(item) {

    var releaseState = item.data.Released;

    var campus = item.data.CampusID;

    var block = viewModel.BlockID;

    var url = "/api/cps/clerkship/blocks/" + block +  "/" + campus + "/";

 

    if (!releaseState)

        url += "release";

    else

        url += "unrelease";

 

 

    $.ajax({

        url: url,

        type: "PUT",

        data: {

            id: block,

            campus: campus

        },

        success: function (e) {

            if (!releaseState)

                item.set("Released", true); //WHAT SHOULD THIS BE


            else

                item.set("Released", false); //WHAT SHOULD THIS BE

        }

    });

}

Any idea?  Should it literally just be a simple

item.data.Released = true;

Hi,

 To set a field you should use the set method. If you want to set item.data.Released then use this
item.set("data.Released", true). This is mentioned in the ObservableObject help topic.
