titleGrid value is not saving

Reason

In some cases, the last edited value in the grid is not saving due to the complex bug and our team is working on its fix. However, this process is time-consuming since it requires a rewrite of the component used to bring up the grid.

  3. Save the grid by clicking on the checkbox in the left-down corner.
