object function in editor name

yu yen kan

I have an object

function obj(array){
    this.array = array;
    this.array_id_list = function(){
        var data = [];
        for (var i = 0; i < this.array.length; i++) {
            data.push(array[i]['id']);
        }

        return data;
    }
}

and an editor

var editor = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor( {
                    table: "#table",
                    idSrc:  'id',
                    fields: [  {
                            label: "array:",
                            name: "array_id_list",
                            multiple: true,
                            type: "select",
                            options: [{ label : "abc", value: "1"}, { label: "bcd", value: "2"} ]
                        }
                    ]
                });

but when I edit, the array is not selected at all, why?

I don't see how obj is being used. Could you give me a link to a page showing the issue please.

Thanks,

var data = new Array();

for(var i = 0; i < 5;i ++){
    data[i] = new obj(i);
}

var table= $('#table).DataTable({
                    dom: "Bfrtip",
                    data: data,
                    select: true,
                    columns: [
                        { data: 'array[, ].id, title: "Array id" }
                    ],
                    buttons: [
                        { extend: "create", editor: editor},
                        { extend: "edit", editor: editor},
                        { extend: "remove", editor: editor}
                    ]
                });

Rather than having two conversations about the same thing, let's merge into this one which has more detail. Closing this thread.
