I just purchased wpDataTables and enjoy the ease of creating many solutions. One of the tables I have is a series of columns that are 0 or 1 (could be yes/no or checked/unchecked). Currently using the inline edit BUT it is cumbersome on a phone. Would be great if some toggle were available (checkbox, radio). Is there a way to do this?
When you create a table, you have an option to choose the edit type:
If you choose One-line selectbox, or Multi-line selectbox, then you'll be able to add possible values for that column, and can insert values by selecting one (or more) values from the drop-down.
Thank you for your response. That is actually what I had, but for SIDE x SIDE multiple long column of values that are on/off it is MUCH easier to use a checkbox to turn on/off that field. I ended up NOT using wpDataTables but had to write custom PHP/HTML/JAVASCRIPT to do that one function. Will there be a data type sometime in the future that under DATA for Column type will you ever have a checkbox or radio Column Type?
Yes, actually this was brought up to us by several users, and it has been added to our idea list and our developers are looking into some possible solutions on plugin side in the future.
Sorry I couldn't be of any more help, but I'm glad you found a working solution.

Hello Daniel.
Thank you for your purchase.
When you create a table, you have an option to choose the edit type:
If you choose One-line selectbox, or Multi-line selectbox, then you'll be able to add possible values for that column, and can insert values by selecting one (or more) values from the drop-down.
Please let me know if this helps.
Best regards.
