Can't get linkify to work

[Nebucatnetzer]

I used the LinkColumn by mistake and now tried to change it to the normal column.
However I can't get it to work in one of the tables.
The cells just stay empy (---) in addition, I always get the following error when I try to sort the columns by clicking on the table header:

Cannot resolve keyword 'nets' into field. Choices are: adgroup, description, device, id, location, mailgroup, name, net, user

The code can be found here:
https://github.com/Nebucatnetzer/network_inventory/blob/net/network_inventory/inventory/tables.py
The only table which isn't work is the CustomersTable. I tried to apply the following code change:

-from django_tables2.utils import A
+
 
 class CustomersTable(tables.Table):
-    name = tables.LinkColumn('customer', args=[A('pk')])
-    nets = tables.LinkColumn('nets', text='Nets', args=[A('pk')])
-    computers = tables.LinkColumn('computers', text='Computers', args=[A('pk')])
-    devices = tables.LinkColumn('devices', text='Devices', args=[A('pk')])
-    backups = tables.LinkColumn('backups', text='Backups', args=[A('pk')])
+    name = tables.Column(linkify=("customer", [tables.A("pk")]))
+    nets = tables.Column(verbose_name="Nets",
+                         linkify=("nets", [tables.A("pk")]))
+    computers = tables.Column(verbose_name="Computers",
+                              linkify=("computers", [tables.A("pk")]))
+    devices = tables.Column(verbose_name="Devices",
+                            linkify=("devices", [tables.A("pk")]))
+    backups = tables.Column(verbose_name="Backups",
+                            linkify=dict(viewname="backups", args=[tables.A("pk")]))

This is with Python 3.8 and Django 2.2.8

That said: the text-argument is currently only supported by LinkColumn. You can work around this by adding a bunch of methods like def render_nets(self): return "Nets" methods and adding empty_values=() to each column, but that's not really clean.

Maybe the message in the docs is not the best idea until we implement implement something like the text argument` to the basic column.

Sure will do that next time.
Maybe you want to add this to the documentation or the readme?

Okay in that case I will leave the table as it is for the moment. It's only one table which works like this and I can easily convert it when it's required.

Thank you for the reply, its solved for me :).
