You are trying to use an ajax request in
columns.render. This is not recommended as the ajax request will be sent for each row. It looks like you have defined the ajax request in 4 columns so it will actually send a request 4 times for each row.The request looks to be the same each time, i, the url doesn't change and you are sending any data via the
dataobject. A simple option wold be to use the ajax request once before initializing Datatables and set a global variable that can be used in thecolumns.renderfunctions.Kevin
Hi @kthorngren , Thank you for mentioning about 4 requests, unfortunately, I tried to call ajax data before datatables initialization, but can't it used inside Datatables, the data not showing
Can you update your test case, please, to demonstrate that. It would help us to understand the problem if we can see what you're doing,
