filtering=True doesn't work unconnected (no callback)

filtering=True doesn't seem to be working in doc examples:

https://github.com/plotly/dash-docs/blob/master/tutorial/examples/table/interactivity_simple.py

Once this is fixed, lets add these examples back to the docs https://github.com/plotly/dash-docs/commit/82954795ddedb31ddffa4dfa6665bf387969c11d

This bug also for other options such as sorting, correct? I can not get the to work unless I connect then to a call back.

I am having the same problem. I am just using the Quickstart example from the docs where I add sorting=True or filtering=True (https://dash.plot.ly/datatable) and am not able to sort or filter anything (it will not react to any input on my side).

[chriddyp]

Yup. For now, just connect it to a dummy callback (e.g. use the data_timestamp as an Input)

[notatallshaw]

I can also reproduce this issue if the first callback raises PreventUpdate, e.g.:

if data is None:
    raise PreventUpdate

Even if the callback has a response after the first callback doesn't seem to matter anymore.

The underlying issue seems to be plotly/dash-renderer#98

This has been fixed in version 3.1.8

Hi all. I am using dash=0.41.0, dash_table=3.6.0 and dash_renderer=0.22.0. I am copying exactly the first example from https://dash.plot.ly/datatable/interactivity. Filtering is not working for me (though sorting is working fine). If I understand correctly, both sorting and filtering should work here because the example contains a callback on a table property? If not, then please can someone provide a code example where filtering is working for them or any other clues to help me diagnose what's going wrong on my side? Many thanks and please let me know if you need any more info.

I apologise, I was using the wrong syntax for filtering. I found this post (#169 (comment)) which explained the filtering syntax I'd need to use.
