  Hi @Jim5340,

  Take a look at the autoFill.alwaysAsk option.

  Thanks,
  Sandy

  Thanks! I can not get it to work. I did like this:

  $('#example').DataTable( {
  autoFill: {
  alwaysAsk: false
  },
  autoFill: true
  } );

  I did also an example:

  Hi,

  You'd need to use:

  $('#example').DataTable( {
    autoFill: {
      alwaysAsk: false
    }
  });
  

  Otherwise it is like saying var x = 1; x = 2; and expecting x to be both 1 and 2.

  However I don't believe that is actually going to answer your original question. The popover will show whenever there is more than one option for the fill.

  Looking at it - I think there is a bug in AutoFill - it gives me options for fill all cells by the first name (if I drag down from there), or vertically, but they are the same thing. Is that what you are seeing as well?

  Thanks Allan. I found a good example that worked for me:
