Adding Colvis to Bootstrap4 Drop-down does not work.

bchipre

I tried adding colvis using the latest Nightly CDN's to a bootstrap 4 dropdown menu, While all other options like Print, Copy, PDF, CSV, Excel works perfectly, Colvis is never triggered although it has detach().
This is what I tried : http://live.datatables.net/nosajori/1/edit

Rather than using your own Buttons to trigger the actions of our buttons, I'd suggest just using our buttons - you can nest level like you are trying to do: http://live.datatables.net/nosajori/4/edit .

Thanks @allan. This worked as a charm. The reason to use my own Buttons was that I have one more option in the drop-down to export my complete MySQL database using 'form'. But I am unable to add a custom button to the solution you provided above to get my db exported. Still stuck.
If you want to have a look, I will email you the issue.

Yupiee !

Just used this option using custom button to export my db, and it works perfectly along with solution you provided above. Datatable rocks !

buttons: [
    {
      text: 'Link Button',
      action: function ( e, dt, button, config ) {
        window.location = 'linkpage.php';
      }        
    }
]
