I tried to use dataInit for form editing to change select to asmSelect (I also use dataUrl to load data). However it doesn't fully work – it does not track the selected value. That is, after subsequent records are edited, the selected value does not change to match edited record.

I also tried to implement my own “select”, which is hidden field + checkboxes. But the problem (related to asmSelect) is that I don't understand how jqGrid notifies my custom control when hidden field value is changed. It seems to me that it does not change.

Is there a way at least to make asmSelect work?
