KendoUI Grid does not invoke update function in popup mode with editable template - angularjs

Question

I'm using a Kendo UI Grid with AngularJS. The grid has a 'popup' mode editable kendo template. The grid invokes the create, destroy & delete functions; however the update function won't get called. Strangely when I change the edit mode to 'inline', the update function is called. Below are the code snippets from my application :
Main UI Grid:
<div class="container-fluid">
<kendo-grid style="margin-top: 2em" k-options="ctrl.fundGridOptions" k-scope-field="kgrid" id="myGrid"></kendo-grid>
</div>
Edit Template:
<script id="edit-template" type="text/x-kendo-template">
<div class="container">
<div class="well">
Fund :
<select kendo-drop-down-list k-options="ctrl.fundOptions" style="width: 130px;" ng-model="dataItem.GenevaId"></select>
<!--<select kendo-drop-down-list k-data-source="ctrl.funds" style="width: 130px;" ng-model="dataItem.GenevaId"></select>-->
NAV Change Threshold
<input kendo-numeric-text-box k-min="0" k-max="100" k-ng-model="value" style="width: 60px;" ng-model="dataItem.NAVThreshold" />
NAV Source
<select k-data-source="ctrl.navSources" kendo-drop-down-list k-option-label="'-Select-'" style="width: 130px;" ng-model="dataItem.NAVSource"></select>
Frequency
<select k-data-source="ctrl.frequencyList" kendo-drop-down-list k-option-label="'-Select-'" style="width: 130px;" ng-model="dataItem.Frequency"></select>
Type
<select k-data-source="ctrl.typeList" kendo-drop-down-list k-option-label="'-Select-'" style="width: 130px;" ng-model="dataItem.Type"></select>
</div>
<div kendo-grid="ctrl.currencyKendoGrid" style="margin-top: 2em" k-options="ctrl.currencyGridOptions"></div>
</div>
</script>
Grid Options:
ctrl.fundGridOptions = {
dataSource: {
transport: {
update: function (options) {
DataSvc.updateFund(e.data).then(function (response) {
e.success(e.data);
});
},
},
schema: {
model: {
id: "FundId",
fields: {
FundId: { type: "number", editable: false, nullable: true },
GenevaId: { type: "string", editable: true },
NAVThreshold: { type: "number", editable: true },
NAVSource: { type: "string", editable: true },
Frequency: { type: "string", editable: true },
Type: { type: "string", editable: true },
}
}
},
},
sortable: true,
columns: [
{ field: "GenevaId", title: "Fund Name" },
{ field: "NAVThreshold*100", title: "NAV Threshold", template: '#=kendo.format("{0:p}", NAVThreshold)#' },
{ field: "NAVSource", title: "NAV Source" },
{ field: "Frequency", title: "Frequency" },
{ field: "Type", title: "Type" },
{ command: ["edit", "destroy"], title: " " }
],
detailTemplate: kendo.template($("#detail-template").html()),
detailInit: function (e) {
kendo.bind(e.detailRow, e.data);
},
dataBound: function (e) {
var grid = e.sender;
if (grid.dataSource.total() == 0) {
var colCount = grid.columns.length;
$(e.sender.wrapper)
.find('tbody')
.append('<tr class="kendo-data-row"><td colspan="' + colCount + '" class="no-data">Sorry, no data :(</td></tr>');
}
},
editable: {
mode: "popup",
template: kendo.template($("#edit-template").html()),
window: {
title: "Edit Fund Details",
animation: false,
height: "600",
width: "1200"
}
},
edit: function (e) {
if (e.model.Currencies)
ctrl.currencyKendoGrid.dataSource.data(e.model.Currencies);
},
toolbar: [
{
name: 'create',
text: 'Add Fund',
}],
};
Could anyone help me understand the reason why the 'update' function won't be called in 'popup' mode, but gets called in 'inline' mode ? Appreciate any responses in advance.

I know this is question old, but I came across it searching for an answer. I think the issue might be that your (and my) edit template uses ng-model binding to edit the dataItem ie we're using angularjs. This doesn't actually seem to change the dirty property on the dataItem. I solved the issue by using ng-change on each control. It's a pain, but seems to work.
<input id="Title" type="text" class="k-textbox" ng-model="dataItem.Title" ng-change="dataItem.dirty=true"/>
