I am using the kendo multi column dropdown but I appear to be unable to get the value from the DatValueField I am using the value to then get the id of the person selected to be able to store that in another table.

<form asp-action="LinkToCase" method="post" asp-controller="MISObjects"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12"> <div class="card card-success"> <div class="card-header" style="background-color:#1e3f5a;color:white"> <h3 class="card-title">Search and Tag</h3> </div> <div class="card-body"> <div class="col-md-12"> <div class="input-group"> <select id="searchOptions" name="searchOptions" style="background-color: #1e3f5a; color: white; width: 140px; height: 45px"> <option selected value="1">Poi</option> <option selected value="1">Vessel</option> </select> @(Html.Kendo().MultiColumnComboBox() .Name("tagItem") .DataTextField("name") .DataValueField("SearchId") .Filter("contains") .FilterFields(new string[] { "name", "ContactTitle", "CompanyName", "Country" }) .Columns(columns => { columns.Add().Field("name").Title("Contact Name").Width("200px"); columns.Add().Field("dob").Title("Date Of Brith").Width("200px"); }) .FooterTemplate("Total #: instance.dataSource.total() # items found") .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width:80%;" }) .Height(400) .DataSource(source => source .Custom() .Transport(transport => transport .Read(read => { read.Action("SearchQuery", "MISObjects") .Data("onAdditionalData"); })) ) ) <button type="submit" class="btn-primary" value="Link To Case" style=" background-color:#1e3f5a;color:white">Link To Case</button> </div> </div> </div> </form>The kendo combox calls this function.
[HttpPost] public IActionResult LinkToCase(int SearchId,string updateInfo, int tagItem, string sesearchOptionsr, IFormCollection formItems) { Int32.TryParse(TempData.Peek("CaseId").ToString(), out int resultCaseId); var test = formItems; POI newPoi = new POI(); newPoi = _context.Pois.SingleOrDefault(w => w.Id == SearchId); newPoi.MISObjectId = resultCaseId; _context.Pois.Add(newPoi); _toast.AddSuccessToastMessage( $"You have linked {newPoi.FirstName} {newPoi.LastName} to case {resultCaseId:d8}"); return RedirectToAction("Edit", new { id = resultCaseId }); } private IEnumerable<SearchViewModel> GetSearchRecords() { return _context.Pois.Where(w => w.isActive == true && w.isDeleted == false).Select(person => new SearchViewModel { SearchId = person.Id, Name = person.FirstName + " " + person.LastName, DOB = person.DOB }).ToList(); }}But even when I inspect SearchId it is blank even if i set it to type int I put in a support ticket as I am on trail but saw their was a kendo tag here so thought might try here as well
For when i look at the form collection the item is not their only the name of the person selected not their id.
