Custom Cell Renderer intermittently working.

Hello I have noticed that in some of my dashboards, especially the more complicated ones with multiple sub searches that the custom cell renderer does not work as expected. Specifically the addCellRenderer method doesn't trigger a re-render as the documentation states: https://dev.splunk.com/enterprise/docs/developapps/visualizedata/displaydataview/howtocustomizetable...

I have verified this with console log, the constructor of the cell renderer is invoked but none of the other critical methods like setup and of course render ever run. I need to reference some field data in the renderer to apply styles, so I am waiting till data has been fetched for the particular table view before adding the cell renderer. Is this the issue?

 

 

 

searchResults.on("data", function() {
   if (searchResults.hasData()) { .. add fields to cell renderer object, addCellRenderer }
}

 

 

 

 Any help appreciated, thank you.
