See comment on April 21, 2013 from Peter Stoev. Has this been added to the functionality of the JQWidgets? If not, how can I work around this issue and not have the second call to the server? I need a default filter and I don’t want two calls to the server. If this can be done, can you add an example? I am not finding one, and I have been searching. I am on release 4.1.2.
