Why GridColumn EditTemplate with DropDownList dosen't update complex model field value?

Hi team,

I have a grid with complex model, and I use a SfDropDownList template to edit it's "Order.Address.ShipCountry" property. but when the value being modified and  the OnActionComplete event being triggered, I found that ShipCountry property in the ActionEventArgs.Data, which should be the new value after modification, didn't change. I made a sample project to show the case. Please check if my DropDownList in the EditTemplate has something wrong. Thanks.

Regards.

Hi Brian,  
 
Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support.  
 
Query: “which should be the new value after modification, didn't change” 
 
From your query we understand that you are facing issue while saving the value for complex column data with Edit Template. We are able to reproduce the reported issue in the provided sample at our end. ID property of Editor components must match GridColumn Field value. So for complex column, ID property has to define in below way (___ must be used in place of .) to resolve the issue.  
 
Refer the below code example.   
 
<SfGrid ID="Grid" DataSource="@Orders" @ref="Grid" AllowFiltering="true" AllowGrouping="true" AllowExcelExport="true" 
            Toolbar="@(new List<string>() { "Add", "Edit", "Delete", "Cancel", "Update","ExcelExport"})" Height="315" Width="900"> 
        <GridEditSettings AllowAdding="true" AllowEditing="true" AllowDeleting="true" Mode="EditMode.Normal"></GridEditSettings> 
        <GridFilterSettings Type="Syncfusion.Blazor.Grids.FilterType.FilterBar"></GridFilterSettings> 
        <GridEvents OnActionComplete="ActionCompletedHandler" OnToolbarClick="ToolbarClick" TValue="Order"></GridEvents> 
        <GridColumns> 
            . . . . . . . .  
            <GridColumn Field="Address.ShipCountry" HeaderText="Ship Country" EditType="EditType.DropDownEdit" Width="150"> 
                <EditTemplate> 
                    <SfDropDownList ID="Address___ShipCountry" TValue="string" TItem="string" DataSource="@_countries" Value="@((context as Order).Address.ShipCountry)"> 
                        <DropDownListFieldSettings Value="Address.ShipCountry"></DropDownListFieldSettings> 
                    </SfDropDownList> 
                </EditTemplate> 
            </GridColumn> 
        </GridColumns> 
    </SfGrid> 
 
  
Please find the modified sample from below

Thanks, it works. Anyway, the "___" is really a hard magic word to guess out. Do you have some secret reference guide for similar issues? :)

Hi team,

The last sample project you provided got console error when upgraded to v18.2.0.44.
It's the DropDownList template at last column, when selecting new value and click Update button on the toolbar, it works fine, but if I press enter directly, console error pops up. You can see the screenshot attached. The sample project I provided is basically the same as the last one from you, except including necessary changes for new "ValidationRules" class and "@bind-Value" in template.

Please check for that.

Hi Brian,  

Query: “when selecting new value and click Update button on the toolbar, it works fine, but if I press enter directly, console error pops up. You can see the screenshot attached” 
 
We are able to reproduce the reported issue at our end too. The reported issue has occurred due to delayed interop call initiated by dropdown control, this will not affect any functionality of Grid or DropDownList.   
 
But we have confirmed it is a bug and logged the defect report “Script error is thrown when pressing the enter key while editing a record and focus is on DropDownList control” for the same. Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping us improve our product. At Syncfusion, we are committed to fixing all validated defects (subject to technological feasibility and Product Development Life Cycle ) and including the defect fix in our upcoming 2020 Volume 2 Service Pack release which is expected to be rolled out by end of this month (July 2020).  
 
You can now track the current status of your request, review the proposed resolution timeline, and contact us for any further inquiries through this link. 


Till then we appreciate your patience.  

Regards, 
Vignesh Natarajan
