row().invalidate().draw() after data-filter change doesn't work both ways?

soorr

I have a function that updates the data-filter attribute of a td element that holds a dropdown button. The button only has an icon on it so I had to find a way to change the filter for the search to work.

Anyway, when I run $('#example').dataTable().api().rows().invalidate().draw(); I am able to search for the newly updated data-filter but for some reason I can also still search for the old data-filter and get a result, which shouldn't happen.

Any ideas?

Can you link to the page showing the issue, per the forum rules, so it can be debugged please.

Information on how to create a test page, if you can't provide a link to your own page can be found here.

Thanks,
