Binding array of object to Kendo grid popup multiselect

I'm trying to bind an array of id-value pairs to a kendo grid popup editor.
Got everything to work for creating a new record. Popup editor loads the custom editor and successfully submits the data to the controller.
The problem is when I try to edit records. The records displays properly in the row, but when I try to edit it, the multiselect does not hold the values.
Grid Markup
$("#ProjectSites-SubContract-grid").kendoGrid({
dataSource: {
type: "json",
schema: {
data: "Data",
total: "Total",
errors: "Errors",
model: {
id: "Id",
fields: {
DateOfContract: { type: 'date', editable: true },
DateOfCompletion: { type: 'date', editable: true },
AmountOfContract: { type: 'number', editable: true },
Contractor: { defaultValue: { id: "", name: "" } }
}
}
},
},
columns: [
{
field: "ScopeOfWork",
title: "Scope of Work",
template: "#=parseScopeOfWork(ScopeOfWork)#",
editor: scopeOfWorkEditor
},
]
});
});
Scope of Work editor
function scopeOfWorkEditor(container, options) {
$('<input data-text-field="name" data-value-field="id" data-bind="value:ScopeOfWork"/>')
.appendTo(container)
.kendoMultiSelect({
dataSource: {
data: [
#foreach (var scopeOfWork in Model.AvailableScopeOfWork)
{
<text>{ id : "#scopeOfWork.Value", name : "#scopeOfWork.Text" },</text>
},
]
}
});
parseScopeOfWork -
this method guys iterates through the object list and concats the name.
function parseScopeOfWork(scopeOfWork) {
var result = "";
for (var i = 0; i < scopeOfWork.length; i++) {
result += scopeOfWork[i].Name;
if (i < scopeOfWork.length - 1)
{
result += ", <br/>";
}
}
return result;
}
Here's a screenshot:

You're binding the SpaceOfWork to the new widget, but how that widget knows your Model ? I mean, just using data-bind doens't binds the model to the widget, it can't figure that by itself. I have two suggestions:
Set the value in the widget's initialization:
.kendoMultiSelect({
value: options.model.ScopeOfWork
Demo
Bind the model to the widget for good:
let $multiSelect = $('<input data-text-field="name" data-value-field="id" data-bind="value:ScopeOfWork"/>');
kendo.bind($multiSelect, options.model);
$multiSelect
.appendTo(container)
.kendoMultiSelect({ ...
Demo
Note: Edit the category cell in both demos to see the changes.

Kendo UI Grid - Custom command button disabled depending on boolean property

How can I set the class to disabled for a custom command on a Kendo grid depending on the boolean value of a property?
I want to use this approach to make the button disabled:
https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/knowledge-base/disable-the-grid-command-buttons
Javascript:
{ command: { name: "custom", text: "Exclude", click: excludeCategorization }, title: " ", width: "60px" }
I want to add a condition like this using the property IsEnabled but if possible using the k-state-disabled class
#= IsEnabled ? disabled="disabled" : "" #

I don't believe you can assign classes conditionally through a template, however you can use the dataBound event to crawl through the rows and manipulate the classes. I would start with all of them disabled and then enable the ones that need to be active, but you can build your own logic. Here's an example:
<div id="grid"></div>
<script>
var grid;
$("#grid").kendoGrid({
dataBound:function(e){
var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");
var items = e.sender.items();
items.each(function (index) {
var dataItem = grid.dataItem(this);
$("tr[data-uid='" + dataItem.uid + "']").find(".excludeCategorization").each(function( index ) {
if(dataItem.isEnabled)
{
$(this).removeClass('k-state-disabled')
}
});
})
},
columns: [
{ field: "name" },
{ field: "enabled" },
{ command: [{ className: "k-state-disabled excludeCategorization", name: "destroy", text: "Remove" },{ className: "k-state-disabled", name: "edit", text: "Edit" }] }
],
editable: true,
dataSource: [ { name: "Jane Doe", isEnabled: false },{ name: "John Smith", isEnabled: true } ]
});
</script>

Kendo UI TreeView Drag and Drop get the destination (dropped) treeview object

I have two TreeViews structure with drag and drop functionality.
The nodes from both the Treeviews can be dragged and dropped on one another.
If I am dragging some content from source to destination i want updated list of destination in console
For reference you can check link here.
In this DEMO I can move something from one category to another but I want to capture the updated list of category containing all the subcategory.
Here is the snippet of my code
<div id="example">
<div class="demo-section k-content">
<h4>Treeview One</h4>
<div id="treeview-left"></div>
<h4 style="padding-top: 2em;">Treeview Two</h4>
<div id="treeview-right"></div>
</div>
<script>
$("#treeview-left").kendoTreeView({
dragAndDrop: true,
dataSource: [
{ text: "Furniture", expanded: true, items: [
{ text: "Tables & Chairs" },
{ text: "Sofas" },
{ text: "Occasional Furniture" }
] },
{ text: "Decor", items: [
{ text: "Bed Linen" },
{ text: "Curtains & Blinds" },
{ text: "Carpets" }
] }
]
});
$("#treeview-right").kendoTreeView({
dragAndDrop: true,
dataSource: [
{ text: "Storage", expanded: true, items: [
{ text: "Wall Shelving" },
{ text: "Floor Shelving" },
{ text: "Kids Storage" }
]
},
{ text: "Lights", items: [
{ text: "Ceiling" },
{ text: "Table" },
{ text: "Floor" }
]
}
]
});
</script>
how can I achieve this?
Thank you

I have created a JsFiddle DEMO here.
You will need to bind the dragend event of both of your Treeviews to a function and then you can get the destination Treeview list from there. Here is the snippet from the DEMO:
function tree_dragend(e) {
alert("See your console");
console.log("Drag end sourceNode = ", e.sourceNode, "dropPosition = ", e.dropPosition, "destinationNode = ", e.destinationNode);
var destinationTreeviewDOMElement = $( e.destinationNode ).closest( "div.k-treeview" );
console.log("destinationTreeviewDOMElement = ", destinationTreeviewDOMElement);
var destinationTreeview = $(destinationTreeviewDOMElement).data("kendoTreeView");
console.log("destinationTreeview = ", destinationTreeview);
console.log("destinationTreeviewData = ", destinationTreeview.dataSource.data());
}
var treeview_left = $("#treeview-left").data("kendoTreeView");
var treeview_right = $("#treeview-right").data("kendoTreeView");
treeview_left.bind("dragend", tree_dragend);
treeview_right.bind("dragend", tree_dragend);

Text from button to TextArea Javascript

So i have a button which sets the value of a textBox. My problem is that i want this text to be added , not to be set, so i can keep pressing the button while the already written text is not erased.
contents: [
{
id: 'something',
elements: [
{
id: 'something2',
type: 'textarea', }
{ id: 'testbutton',
type: 'button',
button: 'button',
label: 'Button1',
onClick: function() {
this._.dialog.setValueOf("something","something2","Text was set ");
}
},]

onClick: function() {
var curVal = this._.dialog.getValueOf( "something","something2" )
this._.dialog.setValueOf("something","something2", curVal + "Text was set ");
}
Try this solution, i hope it will help you !

jquery DataTables Editor: "select" field displays option value instead of label

I am using jquery's DataTables which is really working great. Then only problem I got is, that I am facing (in non-edit-view) the value of the select-field (which is an id). The user of course doesn't want to see the id of course.
Therefore I am looking for a possibility to configure that column in a way to show always the value of label property.
Here a some snippets:
$(document).ready(function() {
var table = $('#overviewTable').DataTable({
dom: "Tfrtip",
ajax: "/Conroller/GetTableData",
columns: [
{ data: "Id", className: "readOnly", visible: false },
{
data: "LoanTransactionId",
className: "readOnly readData clickable",
"fnCreatedCell": function(nTd, sData, oData, iRow, iCol) {
$(nTd).html("<a href='#'>" + oData.LoanTransactionId + "</a>");
}
},
{ data: "Id", className: "readOnly" },
{ data: "property_1", className: "readOnly" },
{ data: "Priority" },
{ data: null, className: "action readOnly", defaultContent: 'Info' }
],
order: [1, 'asc'],
tableTools: {
sRowSelect: "os",
sRowSelector: 'td:first-child',
aButtons: []
}
});
// data reload every 30 seconds
setInterval(function() {
table.ajax.reload();
}, 30000);
editor = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor({
ajax: "PostTable",
table: "#overviewTable",
fields: [
{
label: "Id",
name: "Id"
},
{
label: "Column 1",
name: "property_1"
},
{
label: "Priority",
name: "Priority",
type: "select",
options: [
{ label: "low", value: 0 },
{ label: "mid", id: 1 },
{ text: "high", id: 2 }
]
}
]
});
// Inline Edit - only those who are not readOnly
$('#overviewTable').on('click', 'tbody td:not(:first-child .readOnly)', function(e) {
editor.inline(this, {
submitOnBlur: true
});
});
How it looks in the display mode
How it looks in the edit mode

See the documentation on columns.render
You want to modify your column options for priority
Preferred Option: Your data source has a field with the priority as a string
This is the best option, as you don't want to have two places with this business logic. Keep it out of the client code.
Also, you will want to modify the editor as well so that the options used have been retrieved dynamically from the server to keep this business logic out of the client too. This is left as an exercise for the reader.
Since you don't provide details on what your data structure looks lik, I'm assuming it is an object, and it has an attribute priorityAsString so use the string option type for render.
columns: [
...
{
data: "Priority" ,
render: "priorityAsString",
},
Option 2) You write a function to map priority to string
Do this if you can't get the data from the server. But remember you will need to update many places when the priority list changes.
columns: [
...
{
data: "Priority" ,
render: renderPriorityAsString,
},
...
function renderPriorityAsString(priority) {
const priorityToString = {
0: 'low',
1: 'med',
2: 'high',
};
return priorityToString[priority] || `${priority} does not have a lookup value`;
}

"render": function ( data, type, full ) { return label;}
