Hi Charles,Thanks for your patience.By analyzing your query, we could see that you are updating
the cells programmatically using the updateCell method. We tried to
replicate the reported problem by using the cellSaved event at our end
but it was unsuccessful. It was working fine. So, before providing a solution
to your query, we need some more information for our clarification. Please
share the below details that will be helpful for us to validate further at our
end.
 Please share the event
     which you have used for updating the cells.
 If possible, please
     share the issue reproducible sample.
The above details will be very helpful for us to provide a
better solution as soon as possible.Regards,Nithya Sivaprakasam.

Hello,I will work on getting you a sample, but we are calling it in the onChange event of a dropdownlist.

Hi Charles,Thanks for your patience.While trying to prepare the sample for your query, we can
reproduce the reported behavior when we execute the updateCell method on the
edit cell. If the cell is in edit mode, we should not execute the updateCell
method on it before saving the cell. It may raises some issues in Grid. This is
the behavior of Grid.
If you want to update the same cell when selecting a value from the dropdown,
you need to save the cell before executing the updateCell method. Else it will
raise issues in Grid.
saveCell: https://ej2.syncfusion.com/angular/documentation/api/grid/#savecell

select: function (e) {
              setTimeout(() => {
                this.grid.saveCell();
              });
            }.bind(this),

If you want to update other columns value on the dropdown
change, you can execute the updateCell method in that event.

change: function (e) {
              this.grid.updateCell(1, 'CustomerID', 'test');
            }.bind(this),

Hello,This makes sense for dropdown lists however I am also trying to get a popup dialog box for editing that would update the cell value when the popup is closed.

Hello,Unfortunately I am unable to share the code with you. The requirement we have is to open a dialog with a textbox when a cell is being edited. When the dialog is closed the cell's value will be updated with whatever was inside the textbox.
