Using DropDownEdit in the Grid

Question

Hello,How do you initialize values in the dropdown list that is in a cell in the grid?  The values are static, not bound to a database field.  Also need to return the selected value to the controller.  We are using version 16.2460.0.41Thanks,Doug

Hi Doug Matulis,Greetings from Syncfusion Support.We have reviewed your query and understood that you need
to set the custom dataSource to the dropdown edit of a column. In the
column.edit property using the params, we can provide the custom dataSource to
the dropdown. We have already documented this topic in our documentation. The
documentation link has been attached below for your reference.Documentation: https://ej2.syncfusion.com/aspnetmvc/documentation/grid/editing/edit-types#provide-custom-data-source-and-enabling-filtering-to-dropdownlistWe have also attached the sample and video demonstration
