I have a column that has multiple selections. Example, for one row the "color" column has the values: red, blue, green
How do I format the multiple selections in the column field for wpDataTables?
How do I have the filter that I turn on for this column see this column field has 3 options and allow the filter to correctly filter "red" only if it is selected?
What it is doing now is show all 3 options as 1 option, and I want it to see them individually for the filter.
Could you please provide us with the screenshot of this, but add it in the response rather than the attachment as I cannot open an image that you provided us with?
- You can split the values up individually, to use in a filter, even if they are pulled together in the same cell,
here is an example.
The table pulls the values from all cells, so since you have multiple values together in one cell, it sees it as a unique value.
What you can do is open this column's settings, go to the Data tab. In there, change "Possible values for column" from "Read from table on page load" to "Define values list":
Then, in the "Values list", manually input the individual values that should be included in this column, and that's it. It should allow you to select each value on the filter, as an individual selection.
; here is the resulting filter multiselectbox of this example:
