Description of problem:

Hi

I have replicated the following CSV Import set-up successfully, so it imports the CSV data as expected.

https://editor.datatables.net/examples/extensions/import.html

but I need to create a more complicated version for my system including joins, so the server file will require the table to precede all Field values.

so I modified the server file preceding each Field Column with datatables_demo. as shown below

the effect of making this change is that no JSON data is created, so the file is not imported

In all other respects the up to this point the import works, with no changes to the client file, i.e. the form is populated with the CSV file data

I have tried changing the client file as shown in the call below, so preceding datatables_demo. against all columns, but this fails to populate the CSV Import form, and the table data.

there is no conclusion or solution to the call below which is the same problem as I am having.

The suggestion in this call did not fix the problem.

        Field::inst( 'datatables_demo.start_date' )
            ->validator( Validate::dateFormat( 'Y-m-d' ) )
            ->getFormatter( Format::dateSqlToFormat( 'Y-m-d' ) )
            ->setFormatter( Format::dateFormatToSql('Y-m-d' ) )
    )
    ->debug(true)
    ->process( $_POST )
    ->json();

any help much appreciated, is what I am attempting possible, as ultimately I need to perform an import using joins in the server file, which means that the fields must be preceded by the table name which is resulting in no data showing the Network tab.

I can provide access to my system if required.

Many Thanks

Hi

I may have answered my own question, by modifying the client script on my set-up. I will post the details if applied to this test example once I have fully working system.

Thanks
