Please create a new widget or modify the existing dropdownlist component to allow the user to make more than one selection. The existing multiselect component is not sufficient in that it cannot be modified to look and operate like the dropdown list. This confuses users and makes the controls in a form feel like they came from two different libraries. The major difference is the placement and appearance of the search. In the dropdown list, the search is inside of the list and always 100% width. In the multiselect the search is invisible and inside the selected values box. Our clients are requesting a new tool where the search in the multiselect looks and operates like the search in the dropdownlist and have gone as far as to ask us to ditch Kendo UI for another library.

Consider the following scenario: There is a sortable Kendo-UI grid with a corresponding dataSource. Initially, the dataSource contains some items. When updating the dataSource to an empty array, all items disappear from the grid - so far, so good. However, if a column header is clicked afterwards to sort that column, the removed data reappears again.

We created a small "walkthrough" in this DOJO to demonstrate the issue.

FYI: The issue can be avoided by using a custom implementation of dataSource.transport.read which always returns the latest data.

I have a requirement to show parent rows below the child rows, such that when a parent row is expanded the children show up above the parent. Currently from the options, it seems that parent row can only be expanded to show children below the parent. This is not supported by the grid or treelist, and Kendo support has requested this be logged as a feature.

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.
