kendo grid dynamic field-editable definition

Question

I have kendo-ui grid, with some fields. I need one of the fields to be editable on add new row, and not editable on update row.

I try to change data-source definitions before add row, and change it back before update.

But the changing doesn't help.

Is there any way to do it?

Here is what I tried to do:

 var schema = {
                data: 'results',
                model: {
                    id: 'GroupCode',
                    fields: {
                        GCode: { editable: false },
                        GroupPrincipalId: { editable: false },
                        GroupPrincipalName: { editable: false },
                        ChildCount: { editable: true },                          
                    }
                }
            };

onAddClick: function(){
  var gridElement = ('#myGrid').data('kendoGrid');
      gridElement.dataSource.options.schema.model.fields.GroupPrincipalId.editable = true;
      gridElement.dataSource.options.schema.model.fields.GroupPrincipalName.editable = true;

      gridElement.addRow();
}

(onAddClick is called by my custom adding-button, not related to kendo-adding-logic);

Can you create http://jsfiddle.net or similar? – Ivan Jovović Oct 14 '15 at 08:21 — Ivan Jovović, Oct 14 '15 at 08:21

You can use the approach described here:

When create button is pressed you mark a variable as isCreating and in the edit section you check it and if is false you disable the requiered field/fields.
