Description Dirk Fauth CLA 2023-02-28 04:07:34 EST 
If a user creates a group dynamically with the performance column/row grouping, and adds a special character like '=' or '|' in the group name, the persistence breaks. On load these two characters have a special meaning in the parsing process. The '|' (pipe) is used as separator between groups, the '=' (equals) is used as separator between name and group configuration.

On save the pipe needs to be replaced with a special character replacement, similar to what is done in the FilterRowDataProvider, for the equals character the solution should be to use the last index of the equals character, as there are no further occurences afterwards.
