kendo.data.Model can't have keys with periods in them

[Danny Fritz]

When a JavaScript Object with keys that contain periods are used to create a Model, Model.set throws an error when trying to set the offending keys. Model internally does something like a "d." + key + "=value;" which would evaluate to "d.abc.def=value;" if the key was 'abc.def'. What it needs to evaluate to is "d['" + key + "']=value;" which would evaluate to "d['abc.def']=value;"

Noticed nested fields being set is a feature of ObservableObject.set http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/framework/observableobject#methods-set

Not sure where that leaves me.

Hello Danny,

Keys with periods are not supported, specifically because of the nested fields feature. Consider using a different separator in order to achieve this.
