different fields editable on create than on edit

erwinrichard

In my table I have several fields that may be set on create but may not be altered in an existing row.
What's the best way to make the popup editor show some fields only on create?

Thanks

Hi erwinrichard, maybe like this.

  editor.on('initEdit', function () {
     editor.field('YourField').disable();
}

this will disable those fields not disappear them.
to hide them I think you would do this

editor.on('initEdit', function () {
      editor.hide('YourField');
}

Thanks Shay,

I'm obviously quite new to datatables, but you pointed me to the right docs.
