  Congrats Allan,
  Great to see that the check-box array with out any selection does not give any error with new release.
  Expecting more for making in multilevel chain-able drop-down fields in next release.
  Thanking you

  The DT_RowId enhancement is actually really handy. In previous projects, I had to run every single query through a transform function which would rename whatever the unique row ID was named into DT_RowID. This wasn't a big deal, but it made the code more coupled with Editor.
  
  Thank you for a great product and support, Allan!

  Hey Allan,
  
  The srcId is a great feature and actually would allow me to eliminate quite a bit of code. Quick question regarding this new feature:
  
  I use the id for a couple of things (mainly drag & drop reordering and to pass a variable when a link in the row is clicked). Using the new srcId feature works great for the editor, but unfortunately without a DT_RowID, the other functions no longer work.
  
  Is there a way of accessing the new srcID in a custom link on each row?
  [code]
  // Configure
  $('.datatable').on('click', 'a.editor_config', function (e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  
  var row = $(this).closest('tr'),
  data = oTable._(row),
  id = data[0].id;
  
  window.location = '/Setup/Reports/Configure/' + id;
  });
  [/code]
  
  and also in a .sortable function?
  
  [code]
  $('.datatable tbody').sortable({
  handle: '.handle',
  placeholder: 'sortable-placeholder',
  cursor: 'move',
  start: function (event, ui) {
  var colCount = 0;
  $('tbody tr:nth-child(1) td').each(function () {
  if ($(this).attr('colspan')) {
  colCount += +$(this).attr('colspan');
  } else {
  colCount++;
  }
  });
  
  ui.placeholder.height(ui.helper.outerHeight());
  ui.placeholder.html(' ');
  },
  update: function(e, ui) {
  var oSettings = oTable.fnSettings();
  var i = oSettings._iDisplayStart;
  var p = Math.ceil( oSettings._iDisplayStart / oSettings._iDisplayLength );
  
  var order = new Array();
  $(this).parents('table').find('tr').each(function() {
  if (!isNaN($(this).attr('id'))) {
  oTable.fnUpdate($(this).index() + 1 + i, oTable.fnGetPosition($(this)[0]), 0, false, false);
  order.push($(this).attr('id'));
  }
  });
  
  oTable.fnDraw();
  oTable.fnPageChange(p);
  
  $.ajax({
  type: 'POST',
  traditional: true,
  url: '/Setup/Report/Order',
  data: {
  order: order,
  displayStart: i
  }
  });
  },
  helper: function(e, tr) {
  var $originals = tr.children();
  var $helper = tr.clone();
  $helper.children().each(function(index) {
  // Set helper cell sizes to match the original sizes
  $(this).width($originals.eq(index).width())
  });
  return $helper;
  },
  }).disableSelection();
  [/code]
  
  or do you think I'm better off sticking with the DT_RowID method?
  
  thanks for the input =)

  `DT_RowId` is there as a helper in DataTables - if you can format your data to use it, then I would suggest you do so. Otherwise you might wan tot consider using fnRowCreated to add an ID to the row based on some custom parameter.

  Can you open support issues for Editor in a new thread as noted in my original post please? Otherwise we end up with overlapping conversations and I might miss things.
  
  However, that set of versions should be fine. If you are having an issue with it, please open a new thread. I would always recommend using the latest versions of all software related to DataTables.
