Is there a way to get a dynamic print message. I tried:

{
                    extend: 'print',
                    message: '<h3>'+message+'</h3>'

} 

but the message variable will not pass

    That code will execute immediately - there is no deleted execution there. It would require the message option for the print button to accept callbacks to be able to dynamically update the message, and unfortunately it doesn't do that. Good option for a future addition though - thanks.

    Allan,

    I am happy to report that I got:

    { extend: 'print', message: '<h3>'+message+'</h3>' }

    to work.

    Tom's implemented dynamic function options for the PDF button types, and based on that I've just added it to the print button as well.

    Good to hear that you got it working for your use case though!
