column visible not working on responsive Jquery datatable

I have created a responsive datatable using the responsive plugin. I want to hide and show a column in the table based on certain conditions. If my table was not a responsive table I could have done it pretty easily by doing:

mytable.column(4).visible(false);

However, since my table is responsive when I do this it just collapses it and a user can still see it

enter image description here

Is there a way to hide columns in a responsive table dynamically?

    A column set invisible with column().visible() wouldn't be visible in the Responsive area - so something must be going wrong.

    We're happy to take a look, but as per the forum rules, please link to a test case - a test case that replicates the issue will ensure you'll get a quick and accurate response. Information on how to create a test case (if you aren't able to link to the page you are working on) is available here.

    Cheers,

    Colin
