Hello Karthik,

Persisting the expansion state is currently not provided out of the box. What I can suggest as a workaround is saving this expansion state before binding and restoring it after data is bound. Saving could be achieved by looping trough the grouped rows collection and storing every item`s data-state attribute. Afterwards, for restoring the state this collection is looped again and states are compared. If they are different a click is triggered for this row. For example:

..
{
     name: "Updating",
     rowAdded: function(evt,ui){
     saveState($("#grid1").data("igGrid"));
     $("#grid1").igGrid("dataBind");
     restoreState($("#grid1").data("igGrid"));
     }
    }
..
function saveState($grid) {
  $grid._groupState = {}; var $el;
  $grid.element.find("tr.ui-iggrid-groupedrow").each(function (ix, el) {
    $el = $(el);
    $grid._groupState[$el.data("id")] = $el.attr("data-state");
  });
 }

 function restoreState($grid) {
  for(rowId in $grid._groupState) {
   var $row = $grid.element.find("tr[data-id=" + rowId + "]");
   if ($row.attr("data-state") !== $grid._groupState[rowId]) {
    $row.find("td.ui-iggrid-expandcolumn").mousedown();
   }
  }
 }

I am also attaching a small sample illustrating my suggestion for your reference.

Performing a data bind causes this issue:

http://es.infragistics.com/community/forums/t/96076.aspx

As a user, they will collapse certain groups and whenever a new row is added the grid will reset the state of the groups that are collapsed.  How do I preserve the state of the groups across data binds?

Hello,

@Karthik, please let me know if you need any further assistance with this matter.

@Daniel, attached you wil find the dataSource.js file.

The zip file didn't include the datasource.js.
