Newbie Editor not editing misery

toomanylogins

I am familiar with data tables but not with the editor. I want to edit a single cell in a row. I have followed the example in the manual.
https://editor.datatables.net/examples/inline-editing/columns.html
But when I click on the cell the debugger is fired but I cannot edit. I would be grateful if somebody could put me out of my misery. Here is my code.

const editor = new DataTable.Editor({
            ajax: '/admin/sale-invoice-datatable?',
            fields: [
                {
                    label: 'Total Allocated:',
                    name: 'allocatedAmount'
                }
            ],
            table: '#invoiceTable'
        });
            table.columns(9).search('').columns(10).search('').columns(1).search(companyID).columns(4).search('SINV').columns(12).search(status).draw();
        });

        const table = ltgObj('invoiceTable').DataTable({
            initComplete: function () {
                $('#invoiceTable_filter').addClass('d-none');

                const companyID = ltgObj('sale.companyID').val();
                const status = 'Posted';

                table.columns(9).search('').columns(10).search('').columns(1).search(companyID).columns(4).search('SINV').columns(12).search(status).draw();
            },

            ajax: {
                url: '/admin/sale-invoice-datatable?', // DEFAULT ON LOAD FOR EDIT NULL IF NEW

                data: function (data) {
                    // META DATA...

                    // !IMPORTANT: SPECIFY TYPE FOR EACH COLUMN FOR SERVER-SIDE QUERIES

                    data.columnsMeta = [
                        { type: 'text' }, // ID
                        { type: 'text' }, //companyID
                        { type: 'text' }, //select
                        { type: 'text' }, // DATE
                        { type: 'text' }, // TYPE
                        { type: 'number' }, // NO
                        { type: 'text' }, // REF
                        { type: 'number' }, // TOTAL
                        { type: 'number' }, // ALLOCATED
                        { type: 'number' }, // DUE
                        { type: 'number' }, // TAX
                        { type: 'text' }, // TAXCDOE
                        { type: 'text' } // STATUS
                    ];
                }
            },

You only have one field defined. A click on every other column should trigger this error. Clicking on column index 10 should trigger inline editing though.

Thanks for reply. I do get that error but onclick on col 10 it does not edit. That is the problem. Also tried this code to just allow click on col 10

table.on('click', 'tbody td:(:nth-child(10))', function (e) { editor.inline(this); });;

In inspector nothing appears to be attached to the elements. Is that correct

I am using this version

No that is not correct. If you link to the page I'll take a look and debug it.
