Kendo Grid hierarchy with # in key column

[ITOPERATIONS]

We are using the kendo grid with a detail table. All works well, untill we have a row with a key that has the character '#' in there. Then no requests to the server are made anymore to retrieve the detail data. There is no error or logging unfortunately, but I suspect it to be the # since that is used in the templating of the grid.
Should I escape the # sign in the key, or is there a different work around?

The Datasource definition of the detail template looks like this:

.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
                .Ajax()
                .PageSize(5)
                .Read(read => read
                    .Action("Details", "Monitoring", new { projectionKey = "#=Key#" })
                    .Type(HttpVerbs.Post))
            )

Any help would be appreciated

Hello Catrina,

Indeed # symbols should be escaped with slashes. I am afraid there is no other work-around which we could suggest other than escaping those symbols.

.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
                .Ajax()
                .PageSize(5)
                .Read(read => read
                    .Action("Details", "Monitoring", new { projectionKey = "\\#=Key\\#" })
                    .Type(HttpVerbs.Post))
            )

Kind Regards,
