With version 2024.1.319, the sendMessage of chat is called twice whereas the bug doesn't exist in version 2022.3.913.
Is there a solution?
The function kendo.chat.registerTemplate as mentioned here: https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/controls/conversational-ui/chat/chat-items#custom-templates is missing in API Reference and the Typescript Definitions.
It would also be nice to have it documented in functions that are using the templates, for example the "message.type" parameter in https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/chat/methods/rendermessage
