  Hi,

  Yes, perfectly possible. Simply define different Editor instances, each with different fields, then attach them to the buttons something like:

  { extend: 'edit', editor: editor1, text: 'Edit 1' },
  { extend: 'edit', editor: editor2, text: 'Edit 2' },
  { extend: 'edit', editor: editor3, text: 'Edit 3' },

  You can have different buttons that show() / hide() different columns - something like this:

        {
          extend: "selected",
          text: "Edit Payroll",
          action: function(e, dt, node, config) {
            editor.hide().show(['name', 'salary']).
               edit(dt.rows({selected: true}).ids().toArray(), {title: 'Edit Payroll', buttons:'Save'})          
          }
        } 
  

  Here's an example demonstrating that,
