Attached are the two simple files that demonstrate the problem. I'm trying to load a simple JSON file and then update the data through the model. The trouble is, while the field value is changing in the model, the screen never gets updated unless I change the root of the tree. Any assistance is appreciated.

Hello John,

As far as I understand you are creating a new Map and copy the data from the TreeView data source to that Map. In order to apply the change to the UI of the TreeView the data item from the TreeView's DataSource should be modified using the set method. Currently the item in the Map is modified, but the TreeView does not listen to any changes in the Map, it listen to any changes in its DataSource.

The Map contains a reference, not a copy. I can update the first level using this, but not the second, third, etc.

 

I modified the example to show this. One button updates the root and the other an item under it.

Hello John,

Indeed the Map uses a reference so it is not the problem with the case. The issue here is that the kendo.observableHierarchy does work well with defining schema. It is designed to work with the default schema and it might cause unexpected behavior when a custom schema is defined. 

I modified the example in order to remove the custom schema and change the code to achieve the same thing using the default schema. Please refer to the http://dojo.telerik.com/@gyoshev/ELuJo example.
