StateRestore Ajax loaded states doesn't work

poncki

I have a problem with select restored state.
I am using DataTables 1.12.1 and StateRestore 1.1.1
I am using Ajax to store states in database, saving and loading working fine but when I try to select one of loaded states - nothing happens.
In my config I have:

"stateSave": true

as also:

`buttons: [
            'colvis',
            'createState',
            {
                extend: 'savedStates',
                config: {
                    ajax: '/datatable/state-restore/',
                    rename: false,
                }
            }
        ],

When I create state, POST is going to the endpoint and success returned.
When I refresh page, at the beginning there is also POST and saved states are loaded:

State 1: {c: {ajax: "/datatable/state-restore/",…}, page: 0, time: 1653554456731, order: {0: {"": "asc"}},…}
c: {ajax: "/datatable/state-restore/",…}
columns: {0: {search: {regex: "false", smart: "true", search: "", caseInsensitive: "true"}, visible: "false"},…}
length: 25
order: {0: {"": "asc"}}
page: 0
search: {regex: "false", smart: "true", search: "", caseInsensitive: "true"}
start: 0
stateRestore: {state: "State 1", tableId: "common-table", isPreDefined: "false", isPredefined: "false"}
time: 1653554456731
State 2: {c: {ajax: "/datatable/state-restore/",…}, page: 0, time: 1653557487659, order: {0: {"": "asc"}},…}
c: {ajax: "/datatable/state-restore/",…}
columns: {0: {search: {regex: "false", smart: "true", search: "", caseInsensitive: "true"}, visible: "false"},…}
length: 25
order: {0: {"": "asc"}}
page: 0
search: {regex: "false", smart: "true", search: "", caseInsensitive: "true"}
start: 0
stateRestore: {state: "State 2", tableId: "common-table", isPreDefined: "false", isPredefined: "false"}
time: 1653557487659

They are visible on saved states list:

But then when I select one of them - nothing happens, like I wrote earlier.
Can anyone help?
I will just add that if I don't use Ajax and states are stored in LocalStorage - then it works fine.

The snippet from the Ajax load looks the same but not all of the data is shown. Have you compared them - is there a difference?

As a simple test, sort one of the columns then create a new state. Reload the page and look at the JSON response for that state to see if order has changed. Try selecting it - does the order change to the saved state?

This example works. Can you post a link to your page or a test case replicating the issue so we can take a look?
