Dropdownlist inside Grid EditTemplate

[Michael]

Hi, I can get the dropdown list to populate correctly from a remote datasource.  But when I put the same code within the EditTemplate of the grid the Category data is not displayed and I just get a list of Commodity IDs.  Could you please advise me what I'm doing wrong?  

@*List of Categories - Working correctly*@

@*<SfDropDownList ID="CategoryId" Placeholder="Select Category" TValue="int?" TItem="TblCategory">

    <SfDataManager Adaptor="Adaptors.CustomAdaptor">

            <CategoriesAdaptor></CategoriesAdaptor>

        </SfDataManager>

    <DropDownListFieldSettings Value="CategoryId" Text="Category"></DropDownListFieldSettings>

</SfDropDownList>*@

@*Grid with List of Categories - Not displaying list of Categories*@

<SfGrid @ref="CommodityGrid" TValue="TblCommodity" Toolbar="ToolbarItems" AllowPaging="true">

    <SfDataManager Adaptor="Adaptors.CustomAdaptor">

        <CommoditiesAdaptor></CommoditiesAdaptor>

    </SfDataManager>

    <GridEditSettings AllowAdding="true" AllowDeleting="true" AllowEditing="true" Mode="EditMode.Dialog"></GridEditSettings>

    <GridPageSettings PageSize="10"></GridPageSettings>

    <GridColumns>

        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(TblCommodity.CommodityId) HeaderText="Commodity ID" Visible="true" IsPrimaryKey="true" IsIdentity="true" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>

        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(TblCommodity.CommodityName) HeaderText="Commodity Name" Width="120"></GridColumn>

        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(TblCommodity.CategoryId) HeaderText="Category" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120" EditType="EditType.DropDownEdit">

            <EditTemplate>

                <SfDropDownList ID="CategoryId" Placeholder="Select Category" TValue="int?" TItem="TblCategory">

                    <SfDataManager Adaptor="Adaptors.CustomAdaptor">

                        <CategoriesAdaptor></CategoriesAdaptor>

                    </SfDataManager>

                    <DropDownListFieldSettings Value="CategoryId" Text="Category"></DropDownListFieldSettings>

                </SfDropDownList>

            </EditTemplate>

        </GridColumn>

        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(TblCommodity.CImageFilename) HeaderText="Image Path" TextAlign="TextAlign.Right" Width="120"></GridColumn>

    </GridColumns>

</SfGrid>

Thanks

I've also tried the following method of assigning the DropDownList datasource

        <GridColumn Field=@nameof(TblCommodity.CategoryId) HeaderText="Category" EditType="EditType.DropDownEdit">

            <EditTemplate>

                <SfDropDownList ID="CategoryId" Placeholder="Select Category" TValue="int?" TItem="TblCategory" DataSource="@CategoryList">

                    <DropDownListFieldSettings Value="CategoryId" Text="Category"></DropDownListFieldSettings>

                </SfDropDownList>

            </EditTemplate>

        </GridColumn>

@code{

    public List<TblCategory> CategoryList { get; set; }

    protected override async Task OnInitializedAsync()

    {

        IEnumerable<TblCategory> CategoryData = await UtilitiesScopeClient.GetCategories();

        CategoryList = CategoryData.ToList();

    }

}

With either option, the EditTemplate seems to be completely ignored.  If I remove the EditTemplate block, I get exactly the same result.

SyncFusion Blazor version 18.2.0.44.  Visual Studio 2019 version 16.7 Preview 3.1.

Thanks
