Required by DT SearchBuilder?

tangerine

I have a number of data items in one old table defined like this (e.g.):

            {
                data: "Countries.country_name",
                type: "string"        // Required by DT SearchBuilder                             
            },

but now I can't find anything in SearchBuilder docs that says I have to define data type. Do I need this type of specificity?

No you absolutely shouldn't need to. e.g this example doesn't define the column types.

I actively discourage setting the type manually in fact.

Can you link to a page showing the issue without the type option?

Thanks,
