I want to edit a column value for multiple rows using datatables.

Sohaib Ahmad

I've rendered the checkbox using render function like this
render: function(data){ var html = ''; if(options.check) html = '<input type="checkbox" class="cx-action ' + options.checkClass + '" data-id="' + data +'">\n'; return html; }
Don't know what to do next to update the records.

Pardon any mistakes. I'm new here.

Thanks

Don't know what to do next to update the records.

Please provide more details about what you mean when you say "update the records".

Like when i select multiple rows using checkboxes, I want to set or update a column value for all the selected rows.

Thanks

Are you using the Select extension?

If so you can use this example for the checkbox selection.

One option to update the selected rows is to use rows().every() to loop through all the selected rows. You will use a selector-modifier of {selected:true} as shown here to limit the rows to selected rows.

Then use row().data() to update the row data.

Thanks for your answer. I'll try with that and let you know.

I built a quick example:

Doesn't have the select checkbox but the behavior is the same.
