Hi kthorngren , thank you very much for your answer.

in that case, for example, if i want to hide the column "name" by default. How can i do that?

Thanks and regards!!

columnDefs can be used to hide the column. Use { targets: 0, visible: false} to hide the first column.

@allan I don't think your example to remove name from the visibility list is working.

Thank you!!

But i want set the column "name" hide by default. Then i need to click the colvis button and show the column "name". Is this possible???

Sorry for my bad English...

Regards!!

I think the best you can do is use a class name. Take a look at columnDefs.targets to see all the options for selecting the column.

@kthorngren - Completely agree. That's a bug in the current release I'm afraid. The site uses the current release version which is why it is still present there.

The next Buttons release will fix it. Thanks!

Also I agree - use columns.visible to hide a column by default.
