The TileLayout is a great way to show data in a dashboard, but lacks a dataSource to allow dynamic generation of them. I have had to create a custom extension that introduces a dataSource, which then utilises `widget.setOptions({ containers: items })`. But this puts too much reliance on custom code and is a worry that it will break between version upgrades. Also, editing one container doesn't allow the refreshing of one tile; I need to reset the whole lot using `setOptions`.

Adding, editing, resizing, and re-ordering are also difficult to implement for a tool that has huge potential.

The Kendo UI ListView widget supports setting the selected items via the select method. Up to version 2022.2.802, calling select() triggered a change event. This is no longer the case.

You can see the different behaviors in these two DOJOS: 2022.2.802 vs 2023.1.117 (the item gets selected after a second to make sure the dataSource has finished loading).

Add a hidden input to store the current value in it at all times, and a visible display input that has the month/day/year or current value displayed in it; it solved all of the issues and is currently implemented on numerous other Kendo form input controls.

This will make the DateInput compatible with JQuery Unobtrusive Validation.
