With batch editing, I lose changes when I update the grid filter.

[Dermot Heslin]

I have a grid with batch edit. One record is edited, changes not saved.

I then click on a filter and select one item from the filter:

I am given a warning about unsaved changes. However, the grid has already been filtered.

Hi Dermot Heslin,

We are glad to announce that, we have included the fix for the issue “Unsaved Batch Changes Are Lost Upon Filtering in the Grid” in our 29.1.35 release. So please upgrade to our latest version of the Syncfusion package to resolve the reported issue.

Root Cause: The filtering action prevention mechanism did not function as intended, causing it to return the next function associated with the object's value, which led to the execution of subsequent code.

Solution: The issue has been resolved by implementing a method that prevents the filtering action by returning 'false'.

We thank you for your support and appreciate your patience in waiting for this release. Please get back to us if you need any further assistance.

Hi there

I have noted that while behaviour has changed, it is still not working as expected. Please see my comment in the feedback:

Hi Dermot Heslin,

The live demonstrations on the Syncfusion website are updated periodically; however, they do not reflect the latest fixes introduced in the weekly patch releases. Therefore, we recommend upgrading your Syncfusion package to the version 29.1.35 or to the latest version to resolve the reported issue.

Please refer to the attached sample, which uses the updated version, along with a video demonstration that shows how filtering is prevented when the cancel button is clicked in the batch edit confirmation dialog.

Sample and video demonstration: Please find in the attachment.

Please get back to us if you need any other assistance.

Hi there

Thank you for your reply. I can see that it is working fine in the sample attached, but it is not working in my code. I am using Syncfusion.E2J.AspNet.Core, version 29.1.37. The sample you sent was using Syncfusion.EJ2.Javascript and Syncfusion.EJ2.MVC5 - could this be the issue?

Before filter:

By the time the warning box appears, the filter is already in place (now there are only 2 rows), and edit is lost:

I am realising that perhaps I initially used the wrong label on the thread - I see I posted under MVC. My issue is in AspNetCore.

Thank you

Dermot

Hi Dermot Heslin,

The provided fix is applicable to both ASP.NET Core and ASP.NET MVC platforms. To validate this, we have conducted testing using the ASP.NET Core Grid version 29.1.37. For your reference, we have attached the relevant sample and included a screenshot below:

However, we understand that you are still encountering the issue. Based on our investigation, we suspect that this behavior may be due to updating only the NuGet packages without updating the corresponding EJ2 script reference. We have reproduced this scenario in our testing environment by referencing an older version of the EJ2 script CDN within the “_Layout.cshtml” file while using the latest NuGet package versions and the issue was replicated.

Therefore to resolve the issue, please ensure that both the NuGet packages and the EJ2 script references are updated to the same version. Please check the below code snippet for reference:

[Views\Shared\_Layout.cshtml]

 

    <!-- Syncfusion EJ2 controls script -->

    <script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/29.1.37/dist/ej2.min.js"></script>

 

    <!-- Syncfusion EJ2 controls style -->

    <link rel="stylesheet" rel='nofollow' href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/29.1.37/material.css" />
