title: Get value from Kendo UI grid filter and autofill
body: <p>I have a an MVC web app, and in one of my views I have a Kendo UI grid:</p>
  <pre><code>@(Html.Kendo().Grid&lt;Custodias.Models.ProjectMessageRecipientsModel&gt;()
  .Name(&quot;grid&quot;)
  .Columns(columns =&gt;
  {
      columns.ForeignKey(p =&gt; p.ProjectID_FK, (System.Collections.IEnumerable)ViewBag.ProjectList, &quot;Value&quot;, &quot;Text&quot;).Title(&quot;Project&quot;).Width(150).Filterable(filterable =&gt; filterable.Cell(e =&gt; e.Operator(&quot;eq&quot;).SuggestionOperator(FilterType.Contains).ShowOperators(false))); ;
      columns.ForeignKey(p =&gt; p.ServiceUserID_FK, (System.Collections.IEnumerable)ViewBag.ServiceUserList, &quot;Value&quot;, &quot;Text&quot;).Title(&quot;Service User&quot;).Width(150).Filterable(filterable =&gt; filterable.Cell(e =&gt; e.Operator(&quot;eq&quot;).SuggestionOperator(FilterType.Contains).ShowOperators(false)));
      columns.ForeignKey(p =&gt; p.ProcessKeyID_FK, (System.Collections.IEnumerable)ViewBag.ProcessKeyList, &quot;Value&quot;, &quot;Text&quot;).Title(&quot;Process Key&quot;).Width(150).Filterable(false);
      columns.ForeignKey(p =&gt; p.ContactID_FK, (System.Collections.IEnumerable)ViewBag.ContactList, &quot;Value&quot;, &quot;Text&quot;).Title(&quot;HideContact&quot;).Width(150).Filterable(false);
      columns.Bound(p =&gt; p.ContactName).Title(&quot;Contact&quot;).Width(200).Filterable(false).Hidden();
  
      columns.Command(command =&gt; { command.Edit(); }).Width(90);
      columns.Command(command =&gt; { command.Destroy(); }).Width(90);
  })
  .ToolBar(toolbar =&gt; toolbar.Create())
  .Editable(editable =&gt; editable.Mode(GridEditMode.PopUp).Window(w =&gt; w.Title(&quot;Edit Project Message Recipients&quot;).Width(500))).Events(e =&gt; e.Edit(&quot;onPopOpen&quot;))
  .Pageable()
  .Resizable(resize =&gt; resize.Columns(true))
  .Sortable()
  .Scrollable()
  .Filterable(ftb =&gt; ftb
  .Mode(GridFilterMode.Row)
  .Extra(false)
  )
  .HtmlAttributes(new { style = &quot;height:550px;&quot; })
  .DataSource(dataSource =&gt; dataSource
      .Ajax()
      .PageSize(20)
      .Events(events =&gt;
      {
          events.RequestEnd(&quot;onRequestEnd&quot;);
      })
      .Model(model =&gt; model.Id(p =&gt; p.ProjectMessageRecipientID_PK))
      .Create(update =&gt; update.Action(&quot;CreateProjectMessageRecipients&quot;, &quot;ProjectMessageRecipients&quot;))
      .Read(read =&gt; read.Action(&quot;BindProjectMessageRecipientsModel&quot;, &quot;ProjectMessageRecipients&quot;))
      .Update(update =&gt; update.Action(&quot;UpdateProjectMessageRecipients&quot;, &quot;ProjectMessageRecipients&quot;))
      .Destroy(update =&gt; update.Action(&quot;DeleteProjectMessageRecipients&quot;, &quot;ProjectMessageRecipients&quot;))
  )
  )
  </code></pre>
  <p>What I'd like to be able to do, is when someone uses the search filter in that first column (&quot;Project&quot;) and then goes to add a new record, I want the value from that search filter to be automatically filled into the dropdown list in the &quot;Add New Record&quot; pop-up:</p>

  <p>Is that possible?</p>
