You can edit the template column value by defining the field
for that particular column.
In the below demo, the ShipCountry
column is rendered with the template.
ej.grids.Grid.Inject(ej.grids.Edit, ej.grids.Toolbar);
var grid = new ej.grids.Grid({
dataSource: data,
toolbar: ['Add', 'Edit', 'Delete', 'Update', 'Cancel'],
editSettings: { allowEditing: true, allowAdding: true, allowDeleting: true },
columns: [
{ field: 'OrderID', headerText: 'Order ID', textAlign: 'Right', width: 100, isPrimaryKey: true },
{ field: 'CustomerID', headerText: 'Customer ID', width: 120 },
{ field: 'Freight', headerText: 'Freight', textAlign: 'Right', editType: 'numericedit', width: 120, format: 'C2' },
{ field: 'ShipCountry', headerText: 'Ship Country', template: '#template', editType: 'dropdownedit', width: 150 }
],
height: 273
});
grid.appendTo('#Grid');
