Description

Describe the bug

I wanted to create table where there would be grouping by 2. Let's say if in case of working with months it would be like first 2 weeks and last two weeks. Inside those I wanted to be able to expande that row for first two weeks where I would have days or smetginh else. But... Since in this example below I have group of two and that td has rowspan of 2, as soon as I do the expand goes off becase rowspan stays the same and now we have 3 insted of 2 rows or maybe even 4 if we expand both first and second week. I've tried to manualy set number of rowspan for that column but it's not working as expected. Is there a solution or workaround?

Research direction

Start by running the linked CodeSandbox reproducer with PrimeReact 9.5.0 and inspect the DataTable grouping and row-expansion configuration. Compare the rowspan behavior as grouped rows expand; the work is done when the interaction has a documented supported solution or workaround that preserves the grouped layout.
