fnAddData not working with nested data names

suffixer

Hi, am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

jsfiddle; click item on the master list, should add to "Selected"

1 Works (single nested JSON source):

https://jsfiddle.net/xfxf/nkp1gwp4/
https://catstick.com/jsfiddle/depth1.json

2 Doesn't Work (double nested JSON source):

https://jsfiddle.net/xfxf/700vat5b/
https://catstick.com/jsfiddle/depth1.json

fnAddData does not appear to like nested data names.

Differences with #2:

• selectedtable is reading 'depth2' json
• selectedtable columnDefs data are nested as per https://datatables.net/examples/ajax/deep.html
• fnAddData is changed to the nested names

JSON url in #2 should be https://catstick.com/jsfiddle/depth2.json (is correct in the jsfiddle)

Your JSON file has:

{ "track": {"title": "Title One", "id": 1} }

But your fnAddData uses:

{ 'track.id': trackId, 'track.title': trackTitle }

They are not the same. You want to use the same format for both. e.g.:

{ track: { id: trackId, title: trackTitle } }
