Field hide in DataTable and make it to save in database
Field hide in DataTable and make it to save in database

Hello,
Can you please help to figure out how to able to hide field( using "type":"hidden") and save it in database?
I am using a long id number for each row to able to implement it later from database but user should't be see this id number then click on button "New" to create a new row.
My code:
(function($){
$(document).ready(function() {
var editor = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor( {
ajax: '/api/AdjustmentTable',
table: '#AdjustmentTable',
fields: [
{
"label": "FormInstanseID:",
"name": "forminstanseid",
//"type":"hidden"
},
{
"label": "MAT#:",
"name": "mat"
},
{
"label": "Description:",
"name": "description",
"type": "textarea"
},
{
"label": "Plus or Minus QTY:",
"name": "plus_or_minus_qty"
},
{
"label": "Unit Cost:",
"name": "unit_cost"
},
{
"label": "Extended Cost:",
"name": "extended_cost"
}
]
} );
var table = $('#AdjustmentTable').DataTable( {
dom: 'Bfrtip',
ajax: '/api/AdjustmentTable',
columns: [
{
"data": "forminstanseid"
},
{
"data": "mat"
},
{
"data": "description"
},
{
"data": "plus_or_minus_qty"
},
{
"data": "unit_cost"
},
{
"data": "extended_cost"
}
],
select: true,
lengthChange: false,
buttons: [
{ extend: 'create', editor: editor },
{ extend: 'edit', editor: editor },
{ extend: 'remove', editor: editor }
]
});
} );
}(jQuery));
in html:
FormInstanseID | MAT# | Description | Plus or Minus QTY | Unit Cost | Extended Cost |
---|
FormInstanseId column should be hidden but it go with long id automatically when you click a button "New" to create a new row.
When I use type":"hidden" in field of editor, it hide a field but it is not save the data in database.
fields: [
{
"label": "FormInstanseID:",
"name": "forminstanseid",
//"type":"hidden"
},
How to resolve it and what do I need to use?
Thank you very much!
