Handsontable Dynamically Set Settings

Question

I have a very big handsontable. I have dropdown columns defined, but, the values for the sources are retrieved with AJAX.

How can I set the "source" property of a "column" of type "dropdown" dynamically?

Regards!

Answer 1

You can, and should, use:

hotInstance.updateSettings({
  columns: getNewColumns()
})

Where getNewColumns() would return an array of columns with the data and new source (or make the AJAX call from in here). That should do it!
