    Hi and thank you,

    Regarding tjhe link I share to you (https://staging.breeks-grannygeek.com/), when I check the box of an element in the first datatable, I would like the elements of the second datatable to get filtered by the categories of checked elements in the first datatable.
    Originaly, I generate the datatable with an external php file generating serialized array.
    Is there an easy way to make it happens ? any way would be great for me, I tried a couple of possibilities with no results, and I hoped for a quick js method or a way to regenerate the same datatable with new data on the fly ?

    Thank you for your support :)

    Hi, Frédéric.

    Firstly, I would like to sincerely apologize for the delayed response as we have been experiencing an unusually high number of tickets. I am sorry that it has taken longer than usual to respond to your concern and your patience is highly appreciated.

    At the moment, the only way to apply filtering on multiple tables on the same page with one "column filter" or "table search",

    can be if you use our built-in Pre-filtering tables through URL feature.

    This way, any predefined filtering parameters that you set in this URL,

    for example if you have multiple tables on the same page, and if multiple tables have a same column with same Header Name and you use a parameter for that column filter in the URL,

    then all tables which have this same column name are going to be affected with that filter.

    -

    Other than that, currently we don't have any way to have a "filter on the fly" to select a filter from one table,

    and to have that filter affect other tables on page.

    It is an interesting idea for a future development option, though.

    Please feel free to search on our suggestions page

     to see if someone may be already suggested this feature. If you can't see it, feel free to add your suggestion there,  and as more people vote, the feature will move higher on the priority list.

    You can certainly follow our changeLog page if you'd like ( it is also available in the plugin dashboard), where we state any changes/new features/bug fixes during updates;

    and our newsletter, so you're informed about new features, bug fixes, freebies, etc.
