Hi,
I'm trying add select inputs filters on each column, i'm able do add the filters but the select options only shows me the initial 10 results of the first page.
My code

var table = $('#df_form_proprietarios_intervencionar_intervencionados').DataTable( {
dom: 'Bfrtip',
ajax: {url:'df_form_proprietarios_intervencionar.php', type:'POST'},
"scrollX": true,
serverSide: true,
processing: true,
"deferRender": true,
keys: true,
"pageLength": 10,
initComplete: function () {
    this.api().columns().every( function () {
        var column = this;
        var select = $('<select><option value=""></option></select>')
            .appendTo( $(column.footer()).empty() )
            .on( 'change', function () {
                var val = $.fn.dataTable.util.escapeRegex(
                    $(this).val()
                );
                 
                column
                    .search( val ? '^'+val+'$' : '', true, false )
                    .draw();
            } );
                 
        column.data().unique().sort().each( function ( d, j ) {
            select.append( '<option value="'+d+'">'+d+'</option>' )
        } );
    } );

    You are using server-side processing and since you are building the filters on the client-side, with only the client-side information available, that explains why only those results on the first page are shown.

    You'd need to modify your server-side script to have it return the options that should be available for each column and then use that to populate the list of options in initComplete.

    Hi,
    My server side script came from your generator
    https://editor.datatables.net/generator/index
    Do you have any example or give me the guidelines to do it?
    Best regards
