Can't get Tabulator select editor to work correctly

I'm new to the tabulator and am having trouble getting it to display droplist data in the correct format.



I have defined the column details thus:



{
title: "Status",
field: "Status",
width: 150,
headerFilter: "input",
editor: "select",
editorParams: {
listFormatter: populateStatusList
}
},


As you can see, the listFormatter calls function populateStatusList. This function builds an array of strings from an already-populated structure and returns the array.tostring() from the function.



The tabulator droplist does show the strings but horizontally on one long line and not vertically as I'd expect (i.e. it doesn't actually drop).



Can anyone help me?



Kind regards

  • You write "as you can see", but there's no screenshot. You could make the question more readable by formatting the column details as a code block.

The listFormatter should only be used to layout list items passed into the editor, the values for each of the items in the list should be passed into the values property



{title:"Gentlemen", field:"names", editor:"select", editorParams:{
listFormatter:function(value, title){ //prefix all titles with the work "Mr"
return "Mr " + title;
},
values:{
"steve":"Steve Boberson",
"bob":"Bob Jimmerson",
"jim":"Jim Stevenson",
}
}}


In the example above the list formatter will create a list of the titles passed into the values property, prepending each with the string "Mr"
