Filtering Is Not Properly Persisted after Saving and Loading the State of the Grid

Environment

Product	Progress Kendo UI Grid
Operating System	Windows 10 64bit
Browser	Google Chrome
Browser Version	60.0.3112.101

Description

The filters of the Grid are not correctly persisted after its state is saved and loaded. How can I properly persist the filtering and avoid the rendering of incorrect data in the Grid?

Cause

The JSON.stringify() method that is internally used by the kendo.stringify() method utilizes the Date.prototype.toISOString function which represents time in unmodified UTC format.

Solution

Programmatically apply the time offset before the filter is set again.

    <div id="example">
      <div class="box wide">
        <a href="#" class="k-button" id="save">Save State</a>
        <a href="#" class="k-button" id="load">Load State</a>
      </div>
      <div id="grid"></div>

      <script>
        $(document).ready(function () {
          $("#grid").kendoGrid({
            dataSource: {
              type: "odata",
              transport: {
                read: "https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/service/Northwind.svc/Meetings"
              },
              pageSize: 20
            },
            height: 550,
            groupable: true,
            sortable: true,
            reorderable: true,

            pageable: {
              refresh: true,

              buttonCount: 5
            },
            columns: [{
              field: "MeetingID",
              title: "Meeting",

              locked: true
            }, {
              field: "Start",
              title: "Start",
              width: 350,
              type: "date",
              format: "{0:MM/dd/yy hh:mmtt}"
            }, {
              field: "End",
              title: "End",
              width: 350,
              type: "date",
              format: "{0:MM/dd/yy hh:mmtt}"
            }, {
              field: "RoomID",
              width: 450
            }]
          });

          var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");

          $("#save").click(function (e) {
            e.preventDefault();
            localStorage["kendo-grid-options"] = kendo.stringify(grid.getOptions());

          $("#load").click(function (e) {
            e.preventDefault();
            var options = localStorage["kendo-grid-options"];
            if (options) {
              var parsedOptions = JSON.parse(options)
              if(parsedOptions.dataSource.filter != undefined && parsedOptions.dataSource.filter.filters != undefined){
                for (let i = 0; i<parsedOptions.dataSource.filter.filters.length; i++ ){
                  if(parsedOptions.dataSource.filter.filters[i].field = "Start"){
                    // Parse the date string.
                    var newTime = new Date(parsedOptions.dataSource.filter.filters[i].value);
                    // Set the offset to the date.
                    kendo.timezone.apply(newTime, 0);
                    parsedOptions.dataSource.filter.filters[i].value = newTime
                  }
                }
              }

              grid.setOptions(parsedOptions);
