                               .prop("disabled", true)
                               .addClass("ui-state-disabled")
                               .closest("LoginId")
                               .prev(".CaptionTD")
                               .prop("disabled", true)
                               .addClass("ui-state-disabled");
                       },

                   },
            { recreateForm: true }
                   );
        }
    });
});

Dropdown data from api is like:

[{"RoleId":1,"RoleName":"Administrator"},{"RoleId":2,"RoleName":"Sales"},{"RoleId":3,"RoleName":"Secretory/President"},{"RoleId":4,"RoleName":"Apartment Owner"},{"RoleId":5,"RoleName":"Apartment User"}]

this might going to help you, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13116256/add-dropdown-in-jqgrid-dynamically — cracker, Mar 30 '16 at 05:24

Use this way :

    editoptions:{value: getData()}

and then create one method

    function getData(){
     var states = [{"RoleId":1,"RoleName":"Administrator"},{"RoleId":2,"RoleName":"Sales"},{"RoleId":3,"RoleName":"Secretory/President"},{"RoleId":4,"RoleName":"Apartment Owner"},{"RoleId":5,"RoleName":"Apartment User"}];        
      return states;

    }

In your case you need to add ajax call in getData() and return values/array which has been created by the result.
