editDT_server(
  id,
  inputTableFull,
  inputModifyPlaceID,
  colToDisplay = NULL,
  colToEdit = NULL,
  colWidth = NULL,
  colSort = NULL,
  indexStart = 0,
  allowDeletes = TRUE,
  allowEdits = TRUE
)

Arguments

id	id for module. The id should match in both the editDT_ui and editDT_server function calls.
inputTableFull	Main input table.Must be initialized with editDT_prepareNewData(). Must be passed in a reactive() statement
