Is it possible to have a dropdown in the popup edit screen instead of a text box. I have three fields that I require to be dropdown boxes. I am at my whits end why this seems so hard. Is there a easy to understand guide somewhere that explains how to do something lie this? I thought this would be the least issue making my application but it has turned into a nightmare. I was told to make a dropdown list (which I have done in another view), but I do not know where or how I need to place the control in the Grid.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Christine,
Please refer to this reply to a similar question to find a small implementation of the scenario. You can also check our example in GitHub.
Let me know if the above information was useful, or if you have any further questions.

I have created my own edit screen. Now my dropdown box does not display the value of the record when it comes up (it is blank) and all other fields show data. When I click the update button and if I changed the value in the dropdown, surprise it does not change. I am having a very frustrating time. What am I doing wrong???
Along with that I cannot sort on a screen because the grid is based on a viewmodel that has fields derived from two other models. When I try to sort I get an error stating that one of the fields is not in the model that the page is based on. How do I get that to work? Every time I get something licked I get another issue. I swore I had this sort working before......
Hello Christine,
Could you isolate the Grid into a sample project and attach it? We will look into your editor implementation and what could be causing editing the record and setting new values not to work as expected.

I have fixed the drop down issue. The main problem was the name property of the Dropdown box, I did not realize that I had to use the field name of the ID field. Once that was fixed the dropdowns worked.
I do have one last problem. The Kendo Grid is based on a Model View and when I sort the view on a field I get a "Invalid Property or field" because some fields are in other tables. How can I fix that issue? Once this issue is taken care of I am done.
Hello Christine,
Unfortunately it would be hard to help you to resolve the problem without being able to debug the code. Kindly provide an isolated example where I can observe the problem, and I will happily assist you.
