Detail row keeps collapsing when adding a new row to the grid

[John]

I have a grid, which uses detailInit, inside the detail row I have a grid with a toolbar template with an Add and Delete button. When I click the Add button to add a new row to the grid, the new row gets added but the detail row collapses.

How can stop that from happening?

Hi John,

In order to keep the items in the Grid expanded after it is refreshed I would suggest using the approach described in the article below:

• https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/controls/data-management/grid/how-to/state/persist-expanded-rows

Give it a try and let me know how it works for you.

Hi Viktor,
Thanks that did help, it stopped the detail row from collapsing on adding a new row, but something else arose as well, When I am done editing a row, IE changing an Area Name to something else, and move out of the edit the detail row collapses again. I am using inline editing but not using edit buttons. 
Is there a way to keep a detail row open until another detail row gets open or closing the active detail row?

Hi Viktor,
I got it figured out.
