Hello,
I am currently working to implement Kendo React grid column filters (specifically the GridColumnMenuFilter) on custom cell columns in a grid and have run into issues with our dropdown cell columns.
We are using the Kendo React combobox component as a custom cell in our grids, but are running into issues with the filtering due to the nature of the control having both a value and description which need to be different. Right now, when we type into our column menu filter, it is filtering the column based on whether the dropdown value (the code behind the description the user sees) matches the filter instead of trying to match the description (which is unhelpful for end users). Is there a way to have the column menu filter for this specific column use the description of the column instead of the value (without messing up the combobox displayed description) or will this likely take a lot of extra coding to implement? Any thoughts or feedback on this issue would be helpful!
Thanks,
Andrew

Hello Andrew,
If you have an object field with id/value pairs and you want the data operations to be performed over the value field, you can set the inner field to the column directly. In the following example you can see the CategoryName column using a checkbox filter menu and standard filter over the value field (Category.CategoryName):
Hope this helps.
