[Display(Name = "COMMON TASK")]public bool CommonTask { get; set; }If I INCLUDE the field property as a bound field, the grid is correctly displaying the group by text as "COMMON TASK". But displaying the field BOTH as a group by and a bound field is doubling up. So I only want to display the value as a group by.
So when i remove the bound column, the group by text reverts back to "CommonTask", which is the property name and discards the display name attribute.
Is there a way if explicitly setting the group by text or is this a bug with Kendo.
The fist image shows the correctly formatted group by text, BUT the field is included as a bound field and a group by field.
The second image shows the field only used as a group by within the datasource and the display attribute being ignored.

The behavior you have described is expected. As the groups are property of the DataSource there is no way the group descriptor to "know" there is some custom text associated with the field as title. However, when the groups are visualized within a Grid widget, the widget will check if there is a title attribute set through the column settings and use this title instead of the field name when displaying the group information.
If you want the column to not be displayed, but its title attribute to be used when visualizing the group, you may set the column as hidden.

Should I submit a development suggestion for a "ClientTemplate" feature on the group by row. This way i could explicitly set the text on the row.
You should set the column as hidden (.Hidden(true)) instead of setting the Visible option to false. The later will not render the column at all, as opposite to the former, where the column will be rendered but hidden.
Also there is already a ClientGroupHeaderTemplate built-in.
