Hide column in main table for Editor

webpointz

Is it possible to hide a column in the datatable used for the editor?

I have tried using in the .JS file:

"columnDefs": [
            {
                "targets": [ 0 ],
                "visible": false,
                "searchable": false
            }
        ],  

But it doesn't work.

I believe you are looking for something like this...

fields: [  {
                label: "RecordID:",
                name: "time.recordID",
        type: "hidden" 
            },

The columnDefs are what you see in the actual HTML table, not what you put in the editor.

Actually, I want to have the user id in the main HTML table to pass to a Modal window but not show as a column in the main HTML table.

The columns.visible option should work. If it isn't, then my guess (only guessing without a test case :-) ) is that you are using Responsive. If that is the case assign the class never to that column.

Thanks Allan, I have table as responsive. How so I assign a class to that column?

Nevermind...I got it, thanks

For anyone else - columns.className.

{ className: "never", "targets": [ 0 ] }
