It was really helpful for me after a lot of searching. I will add one comment that may help some people. To get my code working, for reasons I have not looked into, I had to change my reader code from: var rd_random_employee_data = new Ext.data.JsonReader({}, [ 'id', 'name']); to (something like): var rd_random_employee_data = new Ext.data.JsonReader({}, [ {name: 'id', type: 'string', 'id'}, {name: 'name', type: 'string', mapping: 'name'} ]); I'm not sure why there is any difference but it didn't populate the combo box the first way Thanks for posting this.

[
{name: 'id', type: 'string', 'id'},
{name: 'name', type: 'string', mapping: 'name'}
]);
