    Hello,

    Would it be possible to check userinput on a certain field, if it follows a predefined format? Something like "YYYYMMDD_NN_CC". Where nn stands for his name and CC for his city.

    Hello Tim.

    You can do it with an action

    add_filter( 'wpdatatables_before_frontend_edit_row', 'Tim_filter', 10, 3 );
    function Tim_filter( $formdata, $returnResult, $tableID) { 
        // Provide id for your table where you need validation, 
        // we insert 1 as example 
        if ($tableID == 1) { 
            // You will replace orig_header with your real name of orig_header 
            // which you can find it in column settings, and also a condition 
            // this is checker for specific column 
            if ($formdata['orig_header'] == ''){ 
                // You can provide your custom error message 
                $returnResult['error'] = __('Column name can not be empty', 'wpdatatables') ;
                echo json_encode($returnResult); 
                exit(); 
            } 
            // $formdata is array so you can also create a loop if you need 
            // to go through all form data entries and check if they pass your condition 
            //     foreach ($formdata as $signleEntry){ 
            //         if ($signleEntry == 'your condition'){ 
            //             $returnResult['error'] = __('Your custom error message', 'wpdatatables') ;
            //             echo json_encode($returnResult); 
            //             exit(); 
            //         } 
            //     } 
        }
    }

    This is only an example for validation.

    If you want only to filter, then you can use wpdatatables_filter_frontend_formdata which can be seen here.

    Kind Regards,
