Feature Request
Functionality for multiple fields in one column header
Hallo,
i have a grid with a lot of data for a better representation i show some related values with a template in the cell below each other.
This solution is not optimal because I don't have the filter and sort function in the column header for every single field.
Enclosed an example https://www.igniteui.com/grid/multi-row-layout which illustrates my wish.
I would be happy if you implement this feature in a future release.

Hi, Andreas,
Thank you for your feedback.
I have evaluated the approach which the third party vendor uses - namely 4 properties to manage the template:
I changed only the colspan property of one of the columns and there was a JavaScript error. he implemented approach does not seem very stable. Here's a short video showing the Grid's behaviour. Here is a short video demonstrating how unstable the grid from the demo is.

So in reality - there is a broken grid and a message that gives you no clue what went wrong:
We would suggest the following:
- utilize a row template
https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/rowtemplate
For comparison, if you were to make an error in the row template, it would not result in a missing/broken grid, but rather of a cosmetically imperfect table layout.
- on click of the grid table, call the Kendo UI Grid editRow() method which will bring up the built-in popup window
https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid/methods/editrow
- use the multi-column headers (only bound columns can have the built-in sort and filter, for everything else, you can implement a custom filter)
https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/multicolumnheaders
Nonetheless, I have forward the demo to the team for review. Let me know in case you need further assistance with the proposed Kendo UI alternative above.
Kind Regards,
