kendo ui - KendoUI Grid - ForeignKey column not working in PopUp edit mode -

i've searched on place (understatement) solution case no avail until now. first, i'll explain scenario:

• i have openaccess model exposed wcf data service (odata v3);
• i have kendo mvc application;
• i have view grid, set popup editing, ajax bound;

before posting code, let me explain issue/difficulty. have entity these properties:

• textoid
• titulo;
• corpo;
• tipotextoid;
• tipotexto;

there foreignkey column set tipotextoid property get's correctly populated either in in-line or pop-up mode. when comes changing data, works in-line mode. issue need work in popup, since "corpo" property bound kendoui editor.

when in popup, not show correct value on dropdown neither changes when select it.

honestly i'm feeling stupid. tried every sample, post, article find no avail , i'm clueless.

i hope can me on this. in advance all!

so, here's code. view:

    @model ienumerable<kendomvc.costsimulatorservice.texto>  @{     viewbag.title = "textos";     layout = "~/views/shared/_layout.cshtml"; }  <h2>textos</h2>  @(html.kendo().grid(model) // bind grid model property of view       .name("grid")       .columns(columns =>       {           columns.bound(p => p.titulo);   //create column bound "productid" property           //columns.bound(p => p.isprivado).clienttemplate("<input type='checkbox' #= isprivado ? checked='checked': '' # class='chkbx' />"); //create column bound "productname" property           columns.template(@<text></text>).clienttemplate("<input type='checkbox' #= isprivado ? checked='checked': '' # class='chkbx' />"); //create column bound "productname" property           //columns.bound(p => p.tipostexto);           columns.foreignkey(p => p.tipotextoid,                                   (system.collections.ienumerable)viewdata["tipostexto"],                                   "tipotextoid",                                   "designacao")                             .title("tipo de texto").width(150);           columns.command(command =>            {                command.edit();                command.destroy();            }).width(200);       })       .toolbar(commands => commands.create())       .editable(editable => editable.mode(grideditmode.popup).templatename("texto"))       .datasource(datasource => datasource             .ajax() //specify server type             .model(model =>             {                 model.id(texto => texto.textoid); // specify property unique identifier of model                 model.field(texto => texto.textoid).editable(false); // make productid property not editable             })             .create(create => create.action("createtexto", "backoffice"))             .read(read => read.action("readtextos", "backoffice"))             .update(update => update.action("updatetexto", "backoffice"))             .destroy(destroy => destroy.action("destroytexto", "backoffice")))      .pageable() // enable paging      .sortable() // enable sorting      .selectable()      .filterable()      .scrollable()          )  <script type="text/javascript">     $(document).ready(function() {                 $("form.k-edit-form").kendovalidator();     }); </script> 

next, template:

@using system.web.mvc.html;  @model kendomvc.costsimulatorservice.texto  introduza o conteúdo que deseja  @html.hiddenfor(model => model.textoid) <div id="divwrapper" style="width:99%; float:left;">     <div>         @html.labelfor(model => model.titulo)     </div>     <div>         @html.editorfor(model => model.titulo)         @html.validationmessagefor(model => model.titulo)     </div>      <div>         @html.labelfor(model => model.corpo)     </div>     <div>         @(html.kendo().editorfor(model => model.corpo))         @html.validationmessagefor(model => model.corpo)     </div>     <div>         @html.labelfor(model => model.tipotextoid)     </div>     <div>         @*@(html.kendo().dropdownlistfor(model => model.tipostexto))         @html.validationmessagefor(model => model.tipostexto)*@         @(html.kendo().dropdownlistfor(m => m.tipotextoid)             .name("tipostexto")             .datatextfield("designacao")             .datavaluefield("tipotextoid")             .bindto((system.collections.ienumerable)             viewdata["tipostexto"]))     </div> </div> 

the controller:

i've got sorted out precious kendoui's premium forums.

so, stop happening, 1 should use default editor template foreignkeycolumn editor "tipotextoid", so:

model:

[uihint("gridforeignkey")] public int employeeid { get; set; } 

custom popup template:

@(html.editorfor(m => m.employeeid))      

instead of using @(html.kendo().dropdownlistfor(m => m.tipotextoid)

hope may others struggling same thing.

all best!
