Gravity View – DataTables history.

This release improves rendering performance, fixes Views interfering with each other when embedded together on one page, corrects filtered search-result counts, and fixes URL-based Filter & Sort conditions returning no entries behind a full-page cache. #### ✨ Improved * Page rendering performance: the table configuration is now built once per View and shared across DataTables features instead of being rebuilt by each feature. * Client-side search performance when multiple Views are displayed on the same page. #### 🐛 Fixed * Tables did not display when the same View was embedded more than once on a page. * Responsive, FixedHeader, and FixedColumns settings were applied to the wrong table when multiple Views were displayed on the same page. * A View using client-side processing conflicted with other tables on the page that use the DataTables library. * The table information text did not report the total number of entries when results were filtered by a search ("Showing X to Y of Z entries (filtered from N total entries)"). * On a View with URL-based Filter & Sort conditions (e.g. `{get:city}`), the DataTables AJAX refresh could return no entries (clearing the results and any Calendar widget) when the page was served from a full-page cache. The AJAX request now also carries the live URL query so the filters resolve regardless of the cached markup. #### 💻 Developer Updates * DataTables now uses current GravityView hooks instead of ones deprecated in GravityView 2.55. * The `gk.datatables.options` JavaScript filter now receives a per-table copy of the configuration. Mutating the filtered object no longer modifies the shared `window.gvDTglobals` entries; return the modified object instead.

This update resolves single-entry links failing on Views with a large number of columns, along with multiple Search Bar Clear button issues. #### 🐛 Fixed * Single-entry links (View, Edit, Delete) on Views with a large number of columns could fail with an "HTTP 414 Request-URI Too Long" error, because DataTables request parameters were appended to each link's URL. * Search Bar Clear button issues: - Clearing a search reset the results but left date picker fields populated, making the search appear still active; - After clearing a search, the Clear button could not reappear when changing inputs or searching again until the page was reloaded. * A "translation loading was triggered too early" PHP notice in WordPress 6.7+.

This release exposes DataTables View settings to GravityView's REST inspector and the GravityKit Abilities API, switches DataTables search to GravityView's built-in search, and fixes the Approval and Star column filters. #### 🚀 Added * DataTables View settings can now be read, configured, and discovered through GravityView's REST inspector API and the GravityKit Abilities API, so the [GravityKit MCP](https://gravitykit.com/mcp/) can manage them. #### ✨ Improved * Replaces DataTables' custom entry search with GravityView's built-in search (GravityView 2.57 and newer). #### 🐛 Fixed * Fixes the Approval and Star per-column filters appearing as plain text inputs instead of dropdown menus.

This update fixes DataTables scripts not loading in some embed locations. #### 🐛 Fixed * Export buttons (Copy, CSV, Excel, Print) and other DataTables scripts did not load when a View was placed outside the main page content, such as in a theme template, widget, or page builder.

This release adds per-column filtering for Gravity Forms fields with multiple sub-inputs in server-side processing mode and fixes invisible filter inputs on Hidden field columns. #### 🚀 Added * Server-side per-column filtering for Gravity Forms fields with multiple sub-inputs, such as Name, Address, and Email with Confirmation enabled. #### 🐛 Fixed * Per-column filter inputs on DataTables columns bound to Gravity Forms Hidden fields were rendered as ` ` and therefore invisible to the user.

This release fixes DataTables pagination state persisting when search filters change. #### 🐛 Fixed * DataTables pagination state persisted when switching between different search filter values, causing tables to open on the wrong page or show no results.

This update fixes GravityEdit inline editing in client-side processing mode. #### 🐛 Fixed * GravityEdit inline edit popups for radio buttons, checkboxes, and other complex fields were empty when DataTables was set to Preloaded (client-side) processing mode.

This release resolves a DataTables loading issue caused by shortcode sort field overrides, a PHP warning when rendering deleted form fields, and a PHP notice for an unregistered script dependency. #### 🐛 Fixed * DataTables getting stuck on "Loading data…" when the `sort_field` shortcode attribute points to a column not visible in the View. * PHP warning triggered when a View renders a field that no longer exists in the Gravity Forms form. * PHP notice logged due to an unregistered `gv-datatables` script dependency on Single Entry and Edit Entry pages.

This update fixes shortcode search attributes not being applied. #### 🐛 Fixed * The `search_field` and `search_operator` attributes were being ignored when embedding a DataTables View via shortcode.

This hotfix resolves an issue with sorting when the sort field is not visible in the table. #### 🐛 Fixed * Sorting now works correctly when the sort field configured in View Settings is not a visible column in the DataTables table.
