Unable to use two kendoui dropdowns for one model property in same view

Question

I have tow forms in a view.One for saving address and another is for updating them. I am using KendoUI dropdown helper for displaying countries and binding the same model for both the forms. In first form dropdown is working fine but in popup form dropdown not working. first form

Popup form

I am using the following way to bind data to dropdown list.

If i change the name of second dropdown then its rendering correctly but i am unable to receive the selected value in controller as my viewmodel dosent have that name.

Can someone say where i am doing wrong?

Answer 1

This is likely because they are getting the same name/ID. You can try doing something like this:

@(Html.Kendo().DropDownListFor(m => m.Address.CountryRegionCode)
    .Name("country1")
    ...
)
