Hello Lance,
We found a few problems in the code. The first was that the kendo scripts were included twice. First by your bundles and second by requirejs. You should only leave the latter by removing the kendo scripts from your bundleconfig.cs.
Then you should update your view model like this so the grid saves its changes:
