    Hi @saidulu ,

    It would be worth running the debugger on the page to ensure the components are present. If that doesn't help or give any clues, could you provide a link to your page please so we can take a look,

    Cheers,

    Colin

    Please go through the steps below to replicate the issue:
    --> Run this code in .
    -->Select Date2 field try to update it to any date and click outside of the table.
    --> the field is not updating.

    For the Date2 column in the table you have:

                {
                    "data" : function(row, type, val, meta) {
                        return new Date();
                    },
                    "className" : "inlineEditable",
                    "editField" : "Date2"
                }
    

    That means that every time DataTables requests the data for that cell a new Date() object will be returned and rendered into the document (which it why you are getting the full date string).

    You'll notice that when you edit the field the table does update - with the current time.

    I would strongly suggest against using columns.data as a function. Instead use the Date2 property in your data set.
