Changing dtOptions or dtColumns after changeData() gives errors and shows old data

[RoelRoel]

I have a dropdown where you can select an user as a filter for my datatable. When you select "All users" I want to show the column "user" in the datatable but when you selected an specific user that column is not relevant.

I tried updating the options before and after my $scope.dtInstance.changeData() call. But I allways get these errors:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'mData' of undefined
at HTMLTableCellElement. (jquery.dataTables.min.js:88)

TypeError: Cannot read property 'parentNode' of null
at jquery.dataTables.min.js:126

I use the promise way of loading data.

I now tried it with .notVisible() in stead of not adding the column. This gives no errors but nothing happens and the table gets cleared. I have to call changeData twice now to see it again.

Mmh it seems the renderer in the changeData function is not the same instance as the one in the render function...

I'll look into it.
