Hello,

I have a grid bound to a local list of JS objects.

One of the grid cells is defined to be a dropDown list which is bound to another local list of JS object. The object is mapped to this C# class:

class Tax

{

int id {set;get;}

string name{set;get;}

}

When the grid is displayed and not in edit mode, i expect it to show the tax value as a string representing the name of the tax (ex: Local, Export ...), but i am getting the id of the tax displayed instade.

Here is how i define the dropdown:

List<CrescendoPMS.Models.Country> ctries = CrescendoPMS.Models.Country.Get(); // This is for showing purpose only, in reality, the controller is getting the values from the model class

var dropDown = new Syncfusion.EJ2.DropDowns.DropDownList()

{

DataSource = ctries,

Query = "new ej.data.Query()",

Fields = new Syncfusion.EJ2.DropDowns.DropDownListFieldSettings { Value = "id", Text = "name" },

};

}

and in the grid i have this:

...

col.Field(nameof(CrescendoPMS_BL.Models.invoice_line.tax_id)).EditType("dropdownedit").Edit(new { @params = dropDown }).HeaderText("Tax").Add();

...

My edit settings are as follow:

EditSettings(e => e.ShowConfirmDialog(false).Mode(Syncfusion.EJ2.Grids.EditMode.Batch).AllowAdding(true).AllowDeleting(true).AllowEditing(true).AllowEditOnDblClick(true).NewRowPosition(Syncfusion.EJ2.Grids.NewRowPosition.Bottom)

Thank you for your help.
