i have inline as well as edit icon top change the data with multiple select fields, but if i change one field the other 5 are also gettting submitted although I have form options provided.

Can you let me know why values are submitted even though options re provided.

editor.on(" edit ", function() {editor.off("preClose");}).on("open", function() {           
                openVals = JSON.stringify(editor.get());
                editor.on("preClose", function(e) {                   
                    if (openVals !== JSON.stringify(editor.get())) {
                        return confirm(
                            "You have unsaved changes. Are you sure you want to exit?"
                        );
                    }
                });
            });


 $('#table').on( 'edit', 'tbody tr', function () {
            editor.edit( this, {
                submit: 'changed'
            } );
        } );

//for inline edit
        $('#table').on( 'click', 'tbody td.row-edit', function (e) {
            editor.inline(
                table.cells(this.parentNode, '*').nodes(),
                {
                    cancelHtml: '<i class="fa fa-times"></i>',
                    cancelTrigger: 'span.cancel',
                    submitHtml: '<i class="fa fa-floppy-o"></i>',
                    submitTrigger: 'span.edit',
                },{
                    submit: 'changed'
                }
            );
        } );

Sounds like Editor is detected the values as changed. Possibly this is due to a typing issue - for example 5 !== '5'. Editor uses a strict comparison.

If you can give me a link to the page showing the issue I can look into it.

this is more of an intranet website so will not be able to show it, is there any way you can direct me so that I can see where this comparison is happening?

updated the init-param in js directly and it worked, will look for a solution once posted here.

Look for the compare method. This is it's Typescript source:

    public compare(value, original) {
        let compare = this.s.opts.compare || util.deepCompare;
        return compare(value, original);
    }

Most fields do not provide their own compare function so search for the source for deepCompare and that will likely be the function that is being run for the comparison.
