Issue with RadioGroupFor .ToClientTemplate (2023.2.718 buid)

[Michael]

I'm trying to add a RadioGroupFor control to a Toolbar control as a templated item but am getting a JS error related to the generated client template.

Here is the template definition:

<script id="ApproveOrDenyTemplate" type="text/x-kendo-template">
    @(Html.Kendo().RadioGroupFor(model => model.ApproveOrDeny)
        .Layout(RadioGroupLayout.Horizontal)
        .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "display: inline-flex; vertical-align: top;" })
        .LabelPosition(RadioGroupLabelPosition.After)
        .Items(i =>
        {
            i.Add().Label("Approve").Value("Approve");
            i.Add().Label("Deny").Value("Deny");
        })
        .Events(e => e.Change("changeApproveOrDeny"))
        .ToClientTemplate()
    )
</script>

Here is the Toolbar templated item entry:

items.Add()
    .TemplateId("ApproveOrDenyTemplate")
    .Hidden(!Model.ShowApprovalRadioGroup);

Here is the error being thrown and the generated client template javascript (the bold red code is what shows as offending text in console.log) - have I defined the template wrong or is the toolbar item entry wrong?

VM48:1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<'
kendo.syncReady(function(){jQuery("\#ApproveOrDeny").kendoRadioGroup({"change":changeApproveOrDeny,"items":[{"label":"Approve","value":"Approve"},{"label":"Deny","value":"Deny"}],"value":"Approve","layout":"horizontal","labelPosition":"after"});});<\/script>

Hi Michael,

Upon further examination, it appears that the issue may potentially stem from the fact that the ".ToClientTemplate()" is utilized within the RadioGroupFor component. Omitting the API configuration seems to render the component accordingly:

For your convenience, I am also attaching a runnable sample that tackles the latest version of the Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core suite for you to observe and experiment in more depth.

Please let me know how it works out for you.

Kind Regards,

I can confirm this does indeed resolve the issue - thanks for providing the solution.
