I am trying to implement something like the "In table form controls". When I click on delete icon the modal appears as expected but I also get an error in the console.

    I fixed, needed to exclude last column from inline editing

    $('#datatable').on('click', 'tbody td:not(:last-child)', function (e) { 
             editor.inline(this, { 
                   submit: 'allIfChanged' 
    });
});
