title: How to keep a row edit-mode after getting error in ASP.NET MVC kendo grid?
body: <p>Environment: Visual Studio 2012, ASP.NET MVC 4, Kendo UI Complete, Telerik OpenAccess 2013.3.101. </p>
  
  <p>The scenario is as following : </p>
  
  <p>1) The kendo grid is set up for 'Inline' editing. </p>
  
  <p>2) The grid has a column including a kendo dropdownlist publishing a list of date type values.</p>
  
  <p>3) The value of the dropdownlist should be unique in any rows. There is a model validation attribute called DateTypeValidation to check if the selected date type is existed in other rows or not.</p>
  
  <p>4) The user click "Add New" button and add a new row. The row changes to 'Edit' mode, fill all fields and choose a datetype value.</p>
  
  <p>5) Press 'Update' button and DateTypeValidation() return false meaning the selected datetype existed in other rows. </p>
  
  <p>6) An error occurs in server side processing , the error handler displays a message.</p>
  
  <p>5) now the grid row leaves the edit mode, removes dirty indicators and displays the new values changed from user but changes to be display mode with button "Edit" and "Delete".</p>
  
  <p>This is confusing for the user because no clue of the current data state of the row. Is there an approach how to reset the grid row to 'Edit Mode' with button "Update" and "Cancel" and indicate the current state of the grid/row.</p>
