Can not read property .set of undefined ...

alphadad

I keep getting the error "Cannot read property .set of undefined" when I try to update a field from a button. Code is as follows ...

      {
        extend: 'selectedSingle',
        text: 'Change Last Name',
        action: function(e, dt, node, config) {
          editorMain
            .edit( table.row( { selected: true } ).index(), false )
            .set( 'LastName', 'Some Last Name' )
            .submit();
//           editorMain
//             .remove(table.row( { selected: true } ).index(), false)
//             .submit();
        }

If I toggle the comments on the ".remove" and ".set" code, the record is faithfully deleted but I can't seem to make the ".set" code work.

What am I missing?

Hi @alphadad ,

That should work, see example here.

Would you be able to link to your page, or update that example, please, so that it can demonstrate the problem,

Cheers,

I'm not able to give you access to the site but this is the error that comes up using Editor 1.8.0 ...

dataTables.editor.min.js:52 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'set' of undefined
at String.<anonymous> (dataTables.editor.min.js:52)

at HTMLAnchorElement.r.handle (datatables.min.js:16)

Does that give you any insight?

My guess is that you don't have a field by the name LastName in the Editor configuration. Could there be a typo there? It is case sensitive.
