  What is the second Editor related to? A different DataTable, or perhaps a standalone form?

  Standalone. Allan seriously are you trying to create a programming framework/language out of that datatables. Love it, stand alone seem to be exactly what I'm after.

  Standalone works great and all. The only problem that I can not solve is how to update/refresh editors data after submitting it to server, which works well. I'm using set() to set all the columns, but how do set it again at run-time for that editor to apply submitted changes?
  Here is that code:

  var editor_data = {"co_code":"555","allowed_taken_position_number":"0","reset_year":"","rate_type":""};
  
  ...
  
  { text: 'ADP Defaults', action: function() {
      editor9.edit('adp_defaults', false, {
          title: 'Edit ADP Defaults',
          buttons: 'Save'
      }).set(editor_data);
              .open();
  }},

  Yes, its funny how complex something as simple as a table and a form can become .

  If you aren't using the attributes such as data-editor-field to tell Editor where to get and set values from, you need to do it directly yourself. That would be done in the postEdit event, which will give you access to the data that was edited - e.g.:

  editor.on( 'postEdit',  function( e, json, data ) {
    $('#myElementToUpdate').html( data.myProperty );
  } );
  

  The data-editor-field attribute more or less does the same thing - just with added magic (to use Apple terminology...).

  Since I do not display that data anywhere in the DOM just edit, I went with turning "editor_data" variable into a function.

  .set(function() { return editor_data })
  

  Now on postEdit I can manipulatethat variable and next time I edit, changes get applied. Without any magic.
  Thanks Allan
