Update:
I do not think this is something to be done with ItemRenderer or
ItemEditor. I have tracked this to the DataGrid itself. There is a
line there that says:
data[property] = newValue;
This leads to entries in the data like:
<fields>
<field1>
<text>my new value</text>
</field1>
</fields>
when the dataField="text"
OR
<fields>
<field1>
<null>my new value</null>
</field1>
</fields>
when the dataField is empty.
Text is not a property of an XML object, so there is no setter. And
setChildren does not work as a property, only a method.
How else can one get the DataGrid to save the data like:
<fields>
<field1>my new value</field1>
</fields>
