Contributor guide

Research direction

Examine the jsGrid source code for the select field's editTemplate method to understand how items are loaded. Consider using a custom editTemplate that triggers an AJAX call to fetch items and then updates the select options. The example code provided by the user may need to use a callback to set the items after AJAX success. Review the repository's documentation and examples for dynamic data loading.
