fixedGroupTemplate not working on dropdownlist

[Xenope]

As you can see on the gist below the fixedGroupTemplate does not handle the binding :

We should have the country displayed instead of ${Country}.

there is a hook kendo calls each time a template is used. Unfortunately, this hook isn't used consistently across kendo. Therefore, sometimes we cannot hook the aurelia templating engine to the kendo controls.
It seems this is such a case, you can circumvent this by telling the bridge not to use aurelia templates and use the kendo templating system instead:

In my case I'm binding the fixedGroupTemplate in the viewModel like that :

if (kFixedGroupHeaderTemplate != null) { this.akComponent.kFixedGroupTemplate = function() { return kFixedGroupHeaderTemplate; }; }

and not via the html tag, how can I make the workaround to work like you did?

[arnederuwe]

It should work the same when you assign a string to kFixedGroupHeaderTemplate. You will have to refresh the dropdownlist when you dynamically change the template after the component is rendered though

Ok , but where should I put this "kendo-template" flag to true, i'm not using the <ak-template> tag
