  The place to start is to review the troubleshooting steps at the link provided in the error:
  https://datatables.net/manual/tech-notes/11

  If that doesn't help then posting your Datatables and Editor configs and the field causing the error would be good. Better is a link to your page replicating the issue so we can help debug.

  I have built a test case to demonstrate the checkbox issue, but I am having trouble returning any rows. If you could review my test to see why it is not working, then maybe we can resolve the checkbox issue.

  The data needs to point to the data object in memoDataSet, for example: data: memoDataSet.data,.

  There isn't a data option for Editor.

  Here is the updated example:

  The Unable to automatically determine field error doesn't occur when checking/unchecking the checkbox. The only thing I can think of is to make sure you have td:not(:first-child) as part of your selector for inline editing, like you have in the test case.

  Kevin, it is interesting that the test case works fine but my production script produces an error. The only difference between the two is the Ajax I am using to retrieve data. The script is updating the database, but I would like to eliminate the error if possible. I am including my production code snippet if that helps.

                  editorMemo = new $.fn.dataTable.Editor( {
                      ajax: {
                          url: "ssp_SampleFormulaMemoDisplay.php",
                          data: {
                              formNum: form_num_element.value, 
                              formRev: form_rev_element.value, 
                              locID: locid_element.value,
                              editMode: 'Y'
                          }
                     }, 
                      table: "#MemoTable",
                          formOptions: {
