I have a simple Kendo List view, with static data from an array of four Note
objects
var notes = [{"note_id":1,"content":"This is Note 1","created":"2019-05-08 00:39:34"},
{"note_id":2,"content":"This is note 2","created":"2015-06-04 15:49:26"},
{"note_id":3,"content":"This is note 3","created":"2015-06-03 15:49:26"},
{"note_id":4,"content":"This is note 4","created":"2015-06-02 15:49:26"}];
I've got separate template
s for display and edit of the Notes
<script type="text/x-kendo-tmpl" id="NoteTemplate">
<div class="product-view k-widget">
<dl>
<dt>#:kendo. toString(created, "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm")#</dt>
<dd>#=(content)#</dd>
</dl>
<div class="edit-buttons">
<a class="k-button k-edit-button" href="\\#"><span class="k-icon k-i-edit"></span></a>
<a class="k-button k-delete-button" href="\\#"><span class="k-icon k-i-close"></span></a>
</div>
</div>
<input type="hidden" name="type_id" value="0" data-bind="value:type_id" />
</script>
<script type="text/x-kendo-tmpl" id="NoteEditTemplate">
<div class="product-view k-widget">
<dl>
<dt>#:kendo. toString(created, "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm")#</dt>
<dd>
<div data-bind="value:content">
#=content#
</div>
</dd>
<div class="edit-buttons">
<a class="k-button k-update-button" href="\\#"><span class="k-icon k-i-check"></span></a>
<a class="k-button k-cancel-button" href="\\#"><span class="k-icon k-i-cancel"></span></a>
</div>
</div>
</script>
The issue is, when the user clicks the "pencil" icon to edit "Note 2", the edit template is rendered but with the model for Note 3
If the user cancels edit more, they again see the display template rendering Note 2
So it seems like the Kendo component is switching from Note 2 to note 3 when we go into edit mode... Why is it doing this?
See the running demo here: https://dojo.telerik.com/oNosOCUv/3
I made 3 changes:-
Adding schema to the datasource.
Closing dl tag in EditNoteTemplate.
Move the hidden input into the the parent div, because Kendo is assigning the data uid to this element.
<script type="text/x-kendo-tmpl" id="NoteTemplate">
<div class="product-view k-widget">
<dl>
<dt>#:kendo. toString(created, "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm")#</dt>
<dd >#=(content)#</dd>
<input type="hidden" name="type_id" value="0" data-bind="value:type_id" />
</dl>
<div class="edit-buttons">
<a class="k-button k-edit-button" href="\\#"><span class="k-icon k-i-edit"></span></a>
<a class="k-button k-delete-button" href="\\#"><span class="k-icon k-i-close"></span></a>
</div>
</div>
</script>
<script type="text/x-kendo-tmpl" id="NoteEditTemplate">
<div class="product-view k-widget">
<dl>
<dt>#:kendo. toString(created, "dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm")#</dt>
<dd>
<div data-bind="value:content">
