    Hi, I tried doing it myself, but the column does not submit itself when creating or editing. Can you please help me with this?


    Here's the grid:

    $("#grid").kendoGrid({
                           dataSource: dataSource,
                           pageable: true,
                           height: 340,
                           toolbar: ["create"],
                           columns:
                               [{"field":"firstName","title":"First name"},{"field":"nickName","title":"Nick Name","template":"#= kendo.toString(nickName,'MM/dd/yyyy') #"},{"field":"lastName","width":"150px","editor":lastNameEditor},{"command":"destroy","title":" ","width":"110px"}]                            ,
                                
                           editable: true
                       });
                   });

    Here's the DataSource: 


      var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
                             
                                    parameterMap: function(options, operation) {
             
            //alert(operation);
                 return kendo.stringify(options);
                                        if (operation !== "read" && options.models) {
                                            return {models: kendo.stringify(options.models)};
                                        }
                                       
                                        },
                     
                    transport: {
                         
             read: {
    dataType: "json",
     type: "POST",
    data: {"SQLCMD":"SELECT * FROM gridTest","Table":["firstName","nickName","lastName"],"PrimaryKey":"peopleID"}
    },
             update: {
                type: "POST"
             },
             destroy: {
                 type: "POST"
              },
              create: {
                  type: "POST",
                   data: {
                    req: ["firstName","nickName","lastName"]                }
                   
                   
               }
             },
                    
             // determines if changes will be send to the server individually or as batch
             batch: false,
             //...
     
     
                           pageSize: 30,
                           data: blankData,
                           autoSync: true,
                           schema: {
                               model: {
                                 id: "peopleID",
                                 fields:
                                    {"peopleID":{"editable":false,"nullable":true},"firstName":{"type":"string","validation":{"required":true},"nullable":false,"defaultValue":""},"nickName":{"type":"date","validation":{"required":true},"nullable":false,"parse":function(value) { return kendo.toString(value) }},"lastName":{"type":"string","validation":{"required":true},"nullable":false}}                             }
                               ,  parse: function (data) {
            // alert(data);
                return data;
            }
                           }
                        });


    Please, I hope you can help me. Thanks!

    Hello Mike.


    we were facing a similar issue and used the following workaround.
    Add the "parameterMap" to "transport" and set dataType : "json", type: "POST" .

    The model data(alongwith the date) will bind to the model object in the action method of the contoller.
    Converting P_DATE to P_DATE.toUTCString(); works.

     var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
                                transport: {
                                     create: {
                        url: "@Url.Action("CreatePrintDetails", "Home")", //specify the URL which should create new records. This is the Create method of the HomeController.
                        dataType : "json",
                        type: "POST" //use HTTP POST request as the default GET is not allowed for ASMX
                    },
                    read: {
                        url: "@Url.Action("ReadPrintDetails", "Home")"+"?personId="+currentPersonID, //specify the URL which should return the records. This is the Read method of the HomeController.
                        dataType : "json",
                        type: "POST" //use HTTP POST request as by default GET is not allowed by ASP.NET MVC
                    },
                    update: {
                        url:"@Url.Action("CreatePrintDetails", "Home")", //specify the URL which should update the records. This is the Update method of the HomeController.
                        dataType : "json",
                        type: "POST" //use HTTP POST request as by default GET is not allowed by ASP.NET MVC
                    },
                    destroy: {
                        url: "@Url.Action("DeletePrintDetails", "Home")", //specify the URL which should destroy the records. This is the Destroy method of the HomeController.
                        dataType : "json",
                        type: "POST" //use HTTP POST request as by default GET is not allowed by ASP.NET MVC
                    },
                    parameterMap: function(options, operation) {
                       
                        if (operation !== "read") {
                             options.PERSON_ID = currentPersonID;
                             options.P_DATE = options.P_DATE.toUTCString();
                             return options;
                        }
                    }
    }
