  I don't think so. Editor has its own defaults in
  DataTable.Editor.defaults

  https://editor.datatables.net/manual/options#Setting-defaults

  https://editor.datatables.net/manual/i18n#Defaults

  You might have meant field type 'datatable'.
  If so the DataTable.defaults should be valid for the datatable fields inside field type 'datatable'. I've been using this a lot and I didn't notice any deviations.

  Yes, as @rf1234 indicated, datatable will inherit the defaults from the DataTable.defaults object (all DataTables on the page will).

  datatable will set some values that override the defaults:

                      {
                          buttons: [],
                          columns: [
                              {
                                  data: conf.optionsPair.label,
                                  title: 'Label'
                              }
                          ],
                          deferRender: true,
                          dom: layout ? null : 'fiBtp',
                          language: {
                              paginate: {
                                  next: '>',
                                  previous: '<'
                              },
                              search: '',
                              searchPlaceholder: 'Search'
                          },
                          layout: layout
                              ? {
                                      top: hasButtons
                                          ? ['search', 'buttons', 'info']
                                          : ['search', 'info'],
                                      bottom: ['paging'],
                                      bottomStart: null,
                                      bottomEnd: null,
                                      topStart: null,
                                      topEnd: null
                                }
                              : null,
                          lengthChange: false,
                          select: {
                              style: conf.multiple ? 'os' : 'single'
                          }
                      }
  

  You can use the config property of the datatable field type configuration object to specify your own options for the DataTable.

  I can see that buttons then are overridden by the datatable field settings (Yes, I meant the Datatable Field Type).
  I think is where I get some missmatch.
  Thanks for the reply,
