Item objects(rows) contain multiple properties(columns).
Is the structure of the item object the same for the combobox
dataProvider and the DataGrid dataProvider?
If so you should be able to simply specify the combobox selectedItem as
the argument to addItem. Maybe you have to cast the selectedItem as
Object?
If the two item objects are not the same structure then you are on the
right track, but you want to put the property balue in the new property,
not the whole item object. Maybe:
dgResources.addItem( {dept: cmbDept.selectedItem.dept} );
I'll see if I can do a quick example, and see what works.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: databinding issue for combobox
I actually have multiple columns in my dg which is why I am using
dgResources.addItem( {dept: cmbDept.selectedItem} );
I cut down the example for simplicity. However, I did try the example
you suggested and it gives me a statement incomplete error. I think
it needs a identifier for each specific column.
Would I have to somehow loop through the new object in the combo box
and pull each specific item out?
