I was experimenting with wpdatatables, but i have a view questions that i could not find in the Q&A section.
Goal: I would like to make a packing list. And i would like to be able to select items from a table and add them to a packing list.
For example, Table "items" contains the items that you would like to bring on a trip. And table "Packinglist" contains the name for the trip ect. Now would it be nice if i could make a new entryin "packinglist" and add multiple items from the "items" table, end store them by their id under a entry in "packinglist".
Its comparable with a rental system where you can select multiple items under one oder.
If you need me to clarify certain things then let me know, English is not my native language so i could imagine that its not always as clear as it is to me ;-)
I believe what you need are Foreign Keys. If I understood you correctly, you have a list of items, and each item has its own ID. And you'd like to add those items in the Packinglist table, where items will be pulled from "Items" table based on the ID. That's what Foreign Keys do. Please take a look at the documentation from the link above, and you can see an example, and try it yourself to get the feel of how it works.
If you have any further questions, please let me know.
Thanks for the response, You are right, i use foreign key to pull data from other tables. The only thing that i don't get to work is to be able to add multiple items by selecting for exemple a few select boxes. Sort of Bulk add option.
I am sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately this option is not available with the plugin's built-in features.
It probably can be done with some custom work, but our developers are very busy at the moment, working on some priority tasks and fixing bugs and issues with our plugins, so they won't be having the time for custom work in near future.
But we can recommend this service for customization: https://wpkraken.io/?tms-plugins (by this link they would know you come from us) - they do develop such custom solutions, could you please send your inquiry to them?

Hey Marc.
No worries, I believe I understood what you need.
Thanks for the purchase, by the way.

Hello Aleksandar,
Thanks for the response,
You are right, i use foreign key to pull data from other tables.

Sort of Bulk add option.
Again thx for the response.
