Search field to include nested datatables

[nithinParticipant]

I have a datatable with nested datatables. The parent table has a simple filter search field that filter if the search value exists in any column (filter with simple filterMode). I want to include the nested tables in the search so that the row is included if value exists in nested table rows as well.
If this can’t be done directly, is there a possible work around ?

I’d appreciate any suggestions, Thanks

Hi nithin,

What you want to accomplish isn’t possible. If you have multiple nested jqxDataTables in the parent jqxDataTable, only those that are expanded are initialized. This means that even if you could apply a filter to work for all of them, it woudn’t work properly. Another reason why this isn’t a good idea is, when you have a nested jqxDataTable in a row that isn’t corresponding to the filtering criteria, that row and the whole jqxDataDable in it will be excluded from the result(even if the jqxDataTable is expanded).
