table is populated via ajax call. The extra footer

You can create a Custom Button like this example and in the buttons.buttons.action function use rows().data() to send via Ajax to the reporting DB. Kevin

data is coming from ajax and its based on

are you asking for ajax examples, like these? Kevin

or are you using Ajax? Are you using server

@kthorngren yes this jQuery ajax() was my second option, I knew about this, but I thought it is possible with datatables. thank you.

Do an ajax call and check for duplicate key on the server. You can use an event handler for that, e.g. initSubmit https://editor.datatables.net/reference/event/initSubmit

use a suitable editor event e.g. "open" or "opened" to do your proprietary ajax call. On "success" of that call set the Editor fields to the values you would like. Done. https://editor.datatables.net/reference/event/open https://editor.datatables.net/reference/api/set()

code: var table = $('#example').DataTable({ ajax: { url: "/api/applicationPackageData/", type: 'POST'

But that isn't doing an Ajax reload. Are you using server-side processing? If so then even shorter would be table.draw(false);. Allan
