AJAX Call passing null values to controller

I'm trying to send data to the controller using this AJAX call of type POST but it's sending null values to the controller. Through this code I want to make new records in the Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM database.
var formdata = new FormData();
var rowCount = $(".newRow").length;
var projectarray = [];
var datearray = [];
var amountarray = [];
for (var i = 0; i < rowCount; i++) {
projectarray[i] = $("#ProjectType_" + i).val();
datearray[i] = $("#ClaimExpenseDate_" + i).val();
amountarray[i] = $("#Amount_" + i).val();
}
formdata.append("projectarray", projectarray);
formdata.append("datearray", datearray);
formdata.append("amountarray", amountarray);
$.ajax({
url: "#Url.Action("SetClaimDetails", "Claim")",
type: "POST",
data: formdata,
processData: false,
contenttype: false,
success: function (data) {
debugger;
window.location.href = "ess/claim";
alert("Submit Successful!");
},
error: function (err) {
window.location.href = "";
alert("Submit Failed!");
}
});
Here is my controller method which is storing null values instead of the values passed by the AJAX call. And because of this I'm not able to create new records in the database.
public ActionResult SetClaimDetails(string projectarray, string datearray, string amountarray)
{
try
{
Entity item = new Entity("bam_expenseclaims");
item["bam_expdate"] = Convert.ToDateTime(datearray);
item["bam_amount"] = amountarray;
item["bam_project"] = new EntityReference("new_project", Guid.Parse(projectarray));
globalService.Connection.Create(item);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
XmlConfigurator.Configure();
ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger("TechnicalErrorAppender");
log.Error(string.Empty);
throw ex;
}
return View(Constant.CLAIMPATH);
}

Converting array variable back to string for ajax post

Someone helped me with this yesterday but it's now messed up how I send a string query to my endpoint in the AJAX call.
Functionally, this script works but by converting searchResult to an array, it screwed up my ajax call and what I send as a string query to an endpoint.
How can I modify this to make sure it sends searchResult as a string again to my ajax?
$('#productInput').on('input', function () {
let _this = $(this);
let foundOption;
let searchResult = [];
let optSelector = `option[value='${_this.val()}']`;
if (_this.val() === '') {
return;
} else if ((foundOption = $('#returnedProducts').find(optSelector)).length) {
$("#groupName").val(searchResult[$(foundOption).attr('srindex')]._source);
$("#groupNum").val(searchResult[$(foundOption).attr('srindex')]._source);
} else {
$.ajax({ url: '/account/autocomplete',
data: {
search_result: searchResult
},
"_token": "{{ csrf_token() }}",
type: "POST",
success: function (response) {
console.log(response);
let searchResult = response.hits.hits;
console.log(searchResult);
$("#returnedProducts").empty();
for(let i = 0; i < response.hits.hits.length; i++) {
$("#returnedProducts").append("<option value=" + searchResult[i]._source.category + ">" + searchResult[i]._source.category + "</option>");
}
}
});
}
});

filter by a key/value from json Array

here is my code, and i would like to only display items which has "assistance" as tag and no the other. I really don't know how can i do that.
function displayall(newid){
$.ajax({
url: "https://cubber.zendesk.com/api/v2/users/"+newid+"/tickets/requested.json",
type: 'GET',
cors: true,
dataType: 'json',
contentType:'application/json',
secure: true,
beforeSend: function (xhr) {
xhr.setRequestHeader ("Authorization", "Basic " + btoa(""));
},
success: function (data){
var sortbydate = data.tickets.sort(function(a,b){ return new Date(b.created_at)- new Date(a.created_at); });
for (i = 0; i < data.tickets.length; i++) {
var myticket = data.tickets[i];
var mydate = data.tickets[i].created_at;
var created = moment(mydate).format("MM-DD-YY");
var mytitle = data.tickets[i].subject;
var description = data.tickets[i].description;
var status = data.tickets[i].status;
var ticketid = data.tickets[i].id;
var tag = data.tickets[i].tags[0];
$("#mylist").append('<li class="row col-md-12 listing" id="newlist" value="'+ticketid+'" onclick="ticketcontent('+ticketid+","+newid+')">'+ '<span class="class_'+status+' otherClasses">' + status + '</span>'+'<div class="identifiant fixed col-md-2">'+" #"+ ticketid +'</div>'+'<div class="identifiant col-md-2">'+tag+'</div>'+'<div class="identifiant col-md-4">'+mytitle +'</div>'+'<div class="identifiant datefixed col-md-2">'+created+'</div>'+'</li>');
}
}
})
}
and if i do console.log(data.ticket[i]) this is what i get:

What you're looking for is:
var filteredTickets = data.tickets.filter(function(ticket) {
return ticket.tags.indexOf('assistance') >= 0;
});

Try using data.tickets.filter():
data.tickets = data.tickets.filter(function(ticket){
return ticket.tags[0] === 'assistance';
});

Retrieving and Updating a Record not Working in MS CRM

this is my scenario. As I am new to Microsoft Dynamics coding, need a solution for my code.
I have two entities named Acc and Con, where Acc is parent and Con is child entity of Acc.
I have created a lookup field of Acc in Con entity along with fields with similar datatype in the two entities.
So, whenever a change in parent record is made in the fields and saved, the changes should be done automatically in the corresponding fields of the child record.
The part I get the error is to update but am able to retrieve the code. So the record fails to update.
The error I get now is
ReferenceError: FetchRecordsCallBack is not defined at Object.GetRecs.jQuery.ajax.success
Your answers and suggestions are requested and welcome. :) Here below is my code.

Binding Kendo Data Source with Async $.ajax calling from C# MVC Controller Action

This is my action in controller. Which return a List> converting into DataSourceResult.and also Serializing into Json.
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult GetMissingShiftData([DataSourceRequest]DataSourceRequest request)
{
DataTable dtResponse = new DataTable();
var dynamicList = new List<dynamic>();
var myMainList = new List<List<dynamic>>();
List<DataSourceResult> viewResultList = new List<DataSourceResult>();
string RigNumber = string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace( resultData.Filter.SelectedRig.RigNumber) || resultData.Filter.SelectedRig.RigNumber == "ALL" ? "" : resultData.Filter.SelectedRig.RigNumber;
DataSet response = MissingShiftsReportData.GetData(Convert.ToDateTime(resultData.Filter.DateStart), Convert.ToDateTime(resultData.Filter.DateEnd), ConnString, RigNumber);
foreach (DataTable dt in response.Tables)
{
dtResponse = dt;
string[] columnNames = dtResponse.Columns.Cast<DataColumn>().Select(x => x.ColumnName).ToArray();
foreach (DataRow dr in dtResponse.Rows)
{
dynamic myObj = new ExpandoObject();
var p = myObj as IDictionary<string, object>;
Regex rgx = new Regex("[^a-zA-Z0-9]");
for (int i = 0; i < columnNames.Length; i++)
{
string name = dr.Table.Columns[i].ColumnName.Replace(" ", String.Empty);
name = name.Replace(".", String.Empty);
name = name.Replace("(", String.Empty);
name = name.Replace(")", String.Empty);
name = rgx.Replace(name, "");
p[name] = dr[i];
}
dynamicList.Add(p);
}
myMainList.Add(dynamicList);
}
DataSourceResult viewResult = myMainList.ToDataSourceResult(request);
string JsonViewData = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(viewResult.Data);
return new ContentResult { Content = JsonViewData, ContentType = "application/json", ContentEncoding = Encoding.UTF8 };
}
And this is the async call I am doing with Jqery.while I am trying to bind a data source it shows "data[0].Data" is "undefined". How can I make use of 'data'.
$.ajax({
url: "GetMissingShiftData",
type: "post",
datatype: 'json',
success: function (data) {
var list = data[0].Data;
var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
data: data[0].Data
});
dataSource.read();
return false;
},
error: function (msg) {
toastr.error("Error: " + msg.statusText);
}
});

You are serializing an array (the Data property) and don't need to use the Data field at the client-side:
$.ajax({
url: "GetMissingShiftData",
type: "post",
datatype: 'json',
success: function (data) {
var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
data: data
});
dataSource.read();
return false;
},
error: function (msg) {
toastr.error("Error: " + msg.statusText);
}
});
