DT Editor defaults

tangerine

Description of problem:
I want to use autocomplete: "off" on all my "Create" forms. I've tried various permutations of this:

$.extend( true, $.fn.dataTable.Editor.defaults, {
     create: {
        autocomplete: "off"
    },  
    formOptions: {
        main: {
            onBackground: 'none' // Do not close form on click outside.
        }
    } 

} )

Is it even possible to apply this attribute globally?

See if this thread helps.

Hi Kevin. I had tried the "attr" option, with no success, and now using this exact code from the thread you gave me

$.extend( true, $.fn.dataTable.Editor.Field.defaults, {
  attr: {
    autocomplete: 'off'
  }
} );

it's not working. No discernible errors, and I can't think of anything which might be interfering.
Weird.

I put your code snippet in this example and it works.

Make sure it executes before you initialize the Editor.

Neither of us noticed that I had

$.extend( true, $.fn.dataTable.Editor.defaults, {

where I needed

$.extend( true, $.fn.dataTable.Editor.Field.defaults, {

All okay now. I appreciate your help.

That's a good point - I should document where the defaults are. Thanks!
