Solution
To customize the name displayed for a grouped column in the DataGrid Grouping Panel for MAUI, utilize the DisplayContent property of the PropertyGroupDescriptor. This property allows you to specify a custom name that will be shown in the grouping panel instead of the default property name.
The following example demonstrates how to set a custom name for a column grouped by the TimeStamp property:
<telerik:PropertyGroupDescriptor PropertyName="TimeStamp" DisplayContent="Creation Time" />
In this example, columns grouped by the TimeStamp property will display Creation Time in the DataGrid's grouping panel, providing a more user-friendly name for the grouping.
