[danieltomasz]

As I understood from documentation, itablesis a wrapper for datatables.net.
There exist this option to show "child rows" https://datatables.net/examples/api/row_details.html what would be need to use this approach in itables?

Hi @danieltomasz , thanks for asking.

At first sight it seems that this is a very specific need, so I can tell you how to get started: you would need to modify the html template, name the table object and allow passing a post-dt-code code block.

The limitations that I foresee are:

• the data shown in the row details might have to come from the table itself
• this won't work in the apps (Jupyter Widget etc) where we can't pass JS code
