Unable to bind to Title in editor Template

[Alex]

Portion of my gantt chart code:

    @(Html.Kendo()
        .Gantt<ProjectMilestoneGanttTaskViewModel, ProjectMilestoneGanttDependencyViewModel>()
        .Name(ganttName)
        .Editable(e =>
        {
            e.DragPercentComplete(false);
            e.Template(Html.Partial("EditorTemplates/ProjectMilestoneGanttTaskViewModel", new ProjectMilestoneGanttTaskViewModel()).ToHtmlString());
        })     

 

ProjectMilestoneGanttTaskViewModel.cshtml:

@model ProjectMilestoneGanttTaskViewModel

@Html.EditorFor(x => x.Title)

 

Title will not bind in the editor template, it always appears blank. I have plenty of other fields that are not "Title", and those bind perfectly. If I change the name it also binds just fine. I noticed that in the your editor template in the demo it uses lower case "title". I would simply use another name than title but IGanttTask is expecting a "Title" field.

Is this a known issue?

Hello Alex,

The default EditorFor() would not allow you to pass the appropriate attributes that would bind the initial value for the Title field properly. Therefore, I would suggest you to use the Telerik TextBoxFor() HTML helper instead:

@Html.Kendo().TextBoxFor(x => x.Title).HtmlAttributes(new { data_bind = "value: title" })

Attached you will find a small sample, based on the snippets sent, which implements the above suggestion.
