Kendo grid dataItem always null

Question

I have a kendo grid and I am trying to obtain a dataItem from a dataRow, but my dataItem is always null.

This is the code I am using:

var dataGrid = row.find(".k-grid").data("kendoGrid");

var uidValue = "b318f970-79ec-472e-818f-f0d5adb6b5f3";
var dataRow = dataGrid.tbody.find("tr[data-uid='" + uidValue + "']")[0];
                           
                            
var dataItem = dataGrid.dataItem(dataRow);

For testing purposes I manually added the id that I know for sure exists in the DOM. What can be the cause of this issue? I do have to mention that this code is inside an ajax call.

Make sure this code is running after render. Also the uids change each time you create the grid, so make sure that uid really exists — ezanker, Jul 21 '23 at 16:20

Have you tried the getByUid method? Sample code below:

var grid = $("#yourGridID").data("kendoGrid");
var dataSource = grid.dataSource;
var dataItem = dataSource.getByUid(uid);
