  Hi guys,

  I am using columnGroups to display the table kind of like this:

  

  781×275 14.7 KB

  I am trying to use columnLayout to be able to save and restore the column state but whenever I restore/apply the columnLayout, the column groups are lost as if they weren’t set.

  How can I support layout saving/restoring when using columnGroups?

  Thanks

  Hi Paul,

  This is a design limitation.

  The columnLayout property only handles regular columns. The columnGroups property creates extra “logical” columns that are not taken into account by the columnLayout property.

  We may add support for this future release but we will not be able to provide any ETA on this.

  Regards,
  
  Ashwin

  You can create a column layout with group columns manually by iterating over each column group:

  In this sample, a layout.js file is added which contains a function that adds a property to the grid know as columnGroupLayout which returns the layout of groups.
