    Hello again - 

    I need to enforce a biz rule where the value of a string column is unique within the column. Is there a (column) setting for that? I haven't seen one, but it seems like a fairly common need so I would think it's somewhere. Maybe not? 

    What about getting the wpDT row ID to display? That too would be unique. 

    I'm also interest in a hook (action or filter) that fires prior to adding / saving a new row. Again, I could enforce the unique rule here...but there doesn't seem to be a hook that let's me check the data before it's added / updated. 

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi mark fs,
    Thank you for your purchase.

    Sorry for late response. 

    We are located in Serbia and our working time is from 10:00 to 17:00 CET. business days.

    Unfortunately there is no built in option for something like this. 

    wdt_ID is generated column for wpdatatables which is unique because is set  AUTO INCREMENT in database which plugin use for actions like adding, edit or delete data.

    You can take a look in our documentation about Actions and Filters which are defined in wpDataTables plugin for customization's by developers.

    Best regards.

    Kind Regards, 

    Isidora Markovic
