DataTables' Autofill extension - column disabling not working - datatables

Question

I am using the Datatables plugin with the Autofill extension with input elements as outlined here:
DataTables' Autofill extension with input elements not working.
This works well. However, I am unable to disable the autofill for specific columns. When I use the "enable": false option, and set it to specific columns, then the callbacks stop working. Does anyone know if there is a way to disable certain columns for autofill, while still allowing the callbacks to function properly? The following disables cols 1-4, but the read/write/step functions no longer copy edited input values:
new $.fn.dataTable.AutoFill(table, {
"columnDefs": [{
"targets": [5, 6, 7, 8, 9],
"read": function (cell) {
return $('input', cell).val();
},
"write": function (cell, val) {
return $('input', cell).val(val);
},
"step": function (cell, read, last, i, x, y) {
return last === undefined ? read : last;
},
"enable": false, "targets": [1,2,3,4] //omitting this leaves all columns enabled.
}]
});

Answer 1

The way you've written it, you are defining the targets property twice in the same object. What you need to do is to give columnDefs another object pointing to the other targets. Like so:
new $.fn.dataTable.AutoFill(table, {
columnDefs: [
{
targets: [5, 6, 7, 8, 9],
read: function (cell) {
return $('input', cell).val();
},
write: function (cell, val) {
return $('input', cell).val(val);
},
step: function (cell, read, last, i, x, y) {
return last === undefined ? read : last;
}
},
{
targets: [1,2,3,4],
enable: false
}
]
});
