Hi,

We need to add many 'edit' buttons to provide high level features to our customer. For each features, the columns to be updated could be different.

How can we manage this case using Editor ?

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, perfectly possible. Simply define different Editor instances, each with different fields, then attach them to the buttons something like:

{ extend: 'edit', editor: editor1, text: 'Edit 1' },
{ extend: 'edit', editor: editor2, text: 'Edit 2' },
{ extend: 'edit', editor: editor3, text: 'Edit 3' },

You can have different buttons that show() / hide() different columns - something like this:

      {
        extend: "selected",
        text: "Edit Payroll",
        action: function(e, dt, node, config) {
          editor.hide().show(['name', 'salary']).
             edit(dt.rows({selected: true}).ids().toArray(), {title: 'Edit Payroll', buttons:'Save'})          
        }
      } 

Here's an example demonstrating that,
