Thanks. But thats not practical and causes more work that just using the ID as is. I need to display my primary key as a column but it can’t be editable. If I were to create a hidden column it would be a dupe of the primary key column and I’d have to add an additional cell in code for it, which makes no sense.

It would be better to be able to override the ID key used by jqGrid, IMHO.

I’ve verified this bug with the latest release although it works fine on the demo site. I’ve done nothing different with regards to theme being used.
