To set the value of column B based on change made to a column A, you need to edit the model bound to the tree list. For this do the following:-
Handle edit event of the tree list. On this save the model to a
local variable.
Add an editor
template
to column A. On the select event set the value of model.
Below is a working code snippet:-
<div id="treelist"></div>
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
var crudServiceBaseUrl = "https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/service";
var model= null;
var employeesData=[{"EmployeeId":101,"FirstName":"Daryl","LastName":"Sweeney"},
{"EmployeeId":202,"FirstName":"Guy","LastName":"Wooten"},
{"EmployeeId":303,"FirstName":"Priscilla","LastName":"Frank"},
{"EmployeeId":404,"FirstName":"Ursula","LastName":"Holmes"},
{"EmployeeId":505,"FirstName":"Anika","LastName":"Vega"}];
var dataSource = new kendo.data.TreeListDataSource({
transport: {
read: {
url: crudServiceBaseUrl + "/EmployeeDirectory/All",
dataType: "jsonp"
},
update: {
url: crudServiceBaseUrl + "/EmployeeDirectory/Update",
dataType: "jsonp"
},
destroy: {
url: crudServiceBaseUrl + "/EmployeeDirectory/Destroy",
dataType: "jsonp"
},
create: {
url: crudServiceBaseUrl + "/EmployeeDirectory/Create",
dataType: "jsonp"
},
parameterMap: function(options, operation) {
if (operation !== "read" && options.models) {
return {models: kendo.stringify(options.models)};
}
}
},
batch: true,
schema: {
model: {
id: "EmployeeId",
parentId: "ReportsTo",
fields: {
EmployeeId: { type: "number", nullable: false },
ReportsTo: { nullable: true, type: "number" },
FirstName: { validation: { required: true } },
HireDate: { type: "date" },
Phone: { type: "string" },
HireDate: { type: "date" },
BirthDate: { type: "date" },
Extension: { type: "number", validation: { min: 0} },
Position: { type: "string" }
},
expanded: true
}
}
});
$("#treelist").kendoTreeList({
dataSource: dataSource,
toolbar: [ "create", "save", "cancel" ],
editable: "incell",
height: 540,
dataBound: function (e) {
var items = e.sender.items();
for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
var dataItem = e.sender.dataItem(items[i]);
var row = $(items[i]);
if (dataItem.isNew()) {
row.find("[data-command='createchild']").hide();
}
else {
row.find("[data-command='createchild']").show();
}
}
},
edit: function(e) {
model = e.model;
},
columns: [{
field: "EmployeeId",
expandable: true,
title: "Serial Number",
width: 180,
editor: function(container, options) {
// create an input element
var input = $("<input/>");
// set its name to the field to which the column is bound ('lastName' in this case)
input.attr("name", options.field);
// append it to the container
input.appendTo(container);
// initialize a Kendo UI AutoComplete
input.kendoAutoComplete({
dataTextField: "EmployeeId",
dataSource: employeesData,
select: function(e) {
if(model !=null){
model.FirstName = e.dataItem.FirstName;
model.LastName = e.dataItem.LastName;
}
}
});
}
},
{ field: "FirstName", title: "First Name", width: 100 },
{ field: "LastName", title: "Last Name", width: 100 },
{ field: "Position", width: 100 },
{ field: "Phone", title: "Phone", width: 100 },
{ field: "Extension", title: "Ext", format: "{0:#}", width: 100 },
{ command: [{name: "createchild", text: "Add child"},"destroy" ], width: 240 }]
});
});

You can trigger your function when the row is being saved or when the edit field is being changed. Take a look at the list of events here and choose when exactly you want to make the changes. https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/treelist/events
here is a example how to all a function when saving the changes: https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/treelist/methods/saverow
I´m not sure witch edit method you are using (inline, inCell or Popup edit mode) each method can use events like saveRow, beforeEdit...
Check all the events documentation here: https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/treelist#events
