[Solved] How can I keep rows expanded in a Kendo UI Grid with n-level hierarchy?

[Craig]

I have a Kendo UI Grid that has n-levels of hierarchy that's based on this solution here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24004905/kendo-ui-grid-multi-level-hierarchy-n-levels-of-hierarchy . I have buttons inside the rows that need to update some table data, but every time i make it refresh() or read(), the table closes the hierarchy.here is the update function, if needed:

function updateStatus(uN, tId, isSub, tAct, lN) {
    $.ajax({
        url: "supersecretwebsite.com",
        type: "POST",
            success: function (a) {
                $("#LoanTasksTop").data("kendoGrid").dataSource.read();
                $("#LoanTasksTop").data("kendoGrid").refresh();
            }
     });
}

Hello Craig,

The grid itself does not persist the expanded state of the items. To keep the levels open, persist the expanded state in some way (cookie, localstorage, remote service). See this SO thread for a solution.
