How to set a default selected value in SearchList on table initialization?

Just1n

Hi,

I’m using DataTables 2 with the new columnControl + searchList features.
Everything is working, but I would like to pre-select a value in the SearchList when the table loads, while still allowing users to change the selection afterwards.

Here is a simplified version of my current configuration: https://live.datatables.net/jivapopa/1/edit

The table is filtered correctly on load, but the SearchList itself does not show “London” as selected.
I would like the SearchList UI to reflect the default filter selection.
And if I try to change the SearchList selection after the default filter is applied, it shows no results.

Any help or guidance would be appreciated — thanks!

Hi,

I'm afraid there isn't an option to programmatically set the search terms for the ColumnControl feature at the moment. That is something that I can look into adding in future.
