We have two grids in our site that have a custom command button declared similarly to this:
columns.Command(cmd => cmd.Custom("Unaudit").Click("unaudit")).Width(60);unaudit is a javascript function. Works ok but inside unaudit we have to jump through hoops to get the data we want, the id of the record in that grid row.
var id = this.dataItem($(e.currentTarget).closest("tr")).ID;
Is there a way to access the data object and pass just a field to the javascript function?
example (not working)
columns.Command(cmd => cmd.Custom("Unaudit").Click("unaudit(data.ID)")).Width(60);Help is appreciated. Thanks. Note that if i am required to use a client template column instead, i do know how to do that but was hoping i wouldn't have to do that.

Hello John,
Yes, I confirm that the required behavior is absolutely achievable.
Furthermore, you are totally correct with the approach of getting the closest row. As in your example, the "id" variable is actually the needed row. In order to get the dataItem of this row(the model with all properties - id, name, etc.), I would recommend trying the dataItem method of the Kendo UI Grid:
var dataItem = grid.dataItem(put the founded row here);

Hi John,
No Client Template is needed for the case.
In order to achieve the desired behavior, use a Custom Command button as follows:
columns.Command(command => command.Custom("ViewDetails").Click("showDetails")).Width(180); function showDetails(e) {
var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");
var row = $(e.currentTarget).closest("tr")[0];
var dataItem = grid.dataItem(row);
console.log(dataItem.OrderID);
}Make the needed tests locally and let me know if this is the expected behavior(clicking a custom button will log the "OrderID" property of the Model in the Developer Tools Console).
