  The ajax option allows you to pass in a function, you can then decide whether to make a server call or local call.

  See the last section of https://editor.datatables.net/reference/option/ajax

  My config:

      editor_jobsassigned_2 = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor ({
          ajax: function (method, url, data, success, error) {
              $.ajax ({
                  type: "POST",
                  url:  "ajax.php",
                  data: data,
                  dataType: "json",
                  success: function (json) {
                      success (json);
                  },
                  error: function (xhr, error, thrown) {
                      error (xhr, error, thrown);
                  }
              });
          },
          table: "#table_jobsassigned_2",
          ...
  

  This works:
  data: data

  But i am using the following, and that completly omits the sending of the parameter array (data):

  data: {
      "action": "changeJobAssignedValues"
      },
  

  array(
  ['action'] => 'changeJobAssignedValues'
  )
  

  And i got again the Error message from the editor: "Reason: SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected end of data at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data".

  Is there now way to bypass the editor error message?

  Not really - Editor by default expects JSON in reply. Indeed, even in your own Ajax method you are telling it to expect JSON ( dataType: "json" ) and it sounds like the server is not returning with JSON.

  The only way to bypass it would be to generate the JSON that Editor expects on the client-side and pass that into the success callback function.

  But i am using the following, and that completly omits the sending of the parameter array (data):

  Because you aren't submitting the parameters from Editor. You would need to do something like:

  data: $.extend( data, { action: '...' } )
