Grid Header Group Changes Between 18.3.1 and 18.5.1
posted

Hi, I had some header groups implemented using 18.5.1 and my boss was quite happy with how it looked but this appears to have changed in the newest release.  We wanted to use the state saving feature in 18.5.1 but I will have to sacrifice the header group feature in order to use it which puts me in an awkward situation.

When we licensed this grid, we did so under the impression that the grid headers would continue to work as implemented so it's a little bit of a shock to see it has changed.

Is this behaviour intentional?  Is there a way to restore the 18.3.1 style column headers while still upgrading to 18.5.1?

18.5.1 column header groups:

Same code in 18.3.1 looks more like this:

Thank you for your support.

    Hello Phil,

    Thank you for posting in our community!

    I have investigated this matter and determined that the behavior is reproducible when using version 18.4.0 and later and our engineering staff will examine this further. To ensure that it will receive attention, I have logged this behavior in our internal tracking system with a Development ID of 29840.

    You can view the status of the development issue connected to this case by clicking on the “Support” tab under “My Cases” list with “In Development” label.

    Additionally, regarding the following:

    Is there a way to restore the 18.3.1 style column headers while still upgrading to 18.5.1?

    What can I say is that this behavior does not seem related to the styling of the IgrColumnGroup but rather to the overall template structure, i.e., the html code that is rendered in the DOM.

    Having this in mind, at the moment, there does not seem to be a way to upgrade your application to version 18.5.1 and continue using the IgrColumnGroups the same way as in version 18.3.1.

    After our development team has reviewed and examined this matter further, I will update you with any new information. You can also continue to send updates to this thread at any time.

    Please let me know if you need any further information.
