Impossible to display the color choosen by color picker in kendo grid

Question

I have a grid with a colorpicker, when i choose the color from the palette I have the hex color code displayed instead of the color in Status columns.

here is my TemplateEditor that i called QTPStatusEditor:

@model string 
@(Html.Kendo().ColorPickerFor(m=>m)
        .Name("Status")
      .Palette(new[] { "rgba(255, 255, 255, 1)", "rgba(0, 204, 0, 1)", "rgba(255, 51, 51, 1)", "rgba(255, 201, 14, 1)" })
      .Columns(4)
      )

And here is My Grid:

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<Volvo.Qarma.MVCWebUIComponent.Models.Views.ProposedQToolViewModel>()
              .Name("QTPGridItems_#=Id#")
               .ToolBar(toolbar => toolbar.Template(@<text>
                <div class="toolbar">
                   <input type="button" id="SaveProposedQTools" class="icon save k-grid-save-changes" value="@ScreeningResource.Screening_TreatmentPlan_SaveProposedQTools" />
                </div>
            </text>))
              .Columns(columns =>
              {
                  columns.Bound(o => o.RefQTool.Name).Title("Pro-active actions");
                  columns.Bound(o => o.Responsable).Title("Responsible");
                  columns.Bound(o => o.QtoolLeader).Title("Qtool Leader");
                  columns.Bound(o => o.Location.LongName).EditorTemplateName("LocationListEditor").Title("Location");

                  columns.Bound(o => o.Status).EditorTemplateName("QTPStatusEditor").Title("Status");

                  columns.Bound(o => o.PlannedStartDate).EditorTemplateName("PlannedStartDateEditor").Title("Planned start date").Format("{0:dd/MM/yyyy}");
                  columns.Bound(o => o.PlannedEndDate).EditorTemplateName("PlannedEndDateEditor").Title("Planned End date").Format("{0:dd/MM/yyyy}");
                  columns.Bound(o => o.LastUpdateDate).EditorTemplateName("LastUpdateDateEditor").Title("Last Update Date").Format("{0:dd/MM/yyyy}");
                  columns.Bound(o => o.LinkToDocument).Title("Link To Document");
                  columns.Bound(o => o.Comment).Title("Comment");
              })
              .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
                  .Ajax()
                  .Batch(true)
                  .ServerOperation(false)
                  .PageSize(10)
                  .Read(read => read.Action("QtpGridSelectedQtools", "QTP", new { itemId = "#=Id#" })
                   .Data("function() { return getCommodityID('QTPGridItems_#=Id#');}"))
                   .Create(create => create.Action("Create_TreatmentPlan", "Screening", new { itemId = "#=Id#" }))
                   .Update(update => update.Action("Update_TreatmentPlan", "Screening", new { itemId = "#=Id#" }))
                  .Model(model =>
                  {
                      model.Id(p => p.Id);
                      model.Field(p => p.Id).Editable(false);
                      model.Field(p => p.RefQTool.Name).Editable(false);
                      model.Field(p => p.Responsable).Editable(true);
                      model.Field(p => p.QtoolLeader).Editable(true);
                      model.Field(p => p.Location).Editable(true).DefaultValue(ViewData["defaultLocation"] as LocationsViewModel);
                      model.Field(p => p.PlannedStartDate).Editable(true);
                      model.Field(p => p.PlannedEndDate).Editable(true);
                      model.Field(p => p.LastUpdateDate).Editable(true);

                      model.Field(p => p.Status);

                  })
              )

              .Selectable()
              .Pageable()
              .Sortable()
              .Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.InCell))

              .ToClientTemplate()

        )

I have seen in some examples that i need to add .ClientTemplate("<div style='background-color: #=Status#;padding:10px;'>&nbsp;</div>"); to :

columns.Bound(o => o.Status).EditorTemplateName("QTPStatusEditor").Title("Status").ClientTemplate("<div style='background-color: #=Status#;padding:10px;'> </div>");

But When I dothat I get a javascript error : Uncaught ReferenceError : Status is not defined that you can see also in attached file. and the line is no more displayed in the grid.

Thank you in advanced for your help

Here is the solution by Kendo admin :

Indeed using a client template is the correct way to go in the current scenario. Since the current Grid is in a client template itself, the hash symbols which are part of the template should be escaped.

.ClientTemplate("<div style='background-color: \\#=Status\\#;padding:10px;'> </div>");
