# Default advanced options

 * I was wondering if there was any way to see (and potentially copy-paste) the 
   default table options already active — the ones that you can override under Advanced
   Options. That way, if I wanted to change one little thing, I wouldn’t have to
   recreate something that’s potentially a massive array, if I want to keep everything
   else the same.
 * For example, I’d like to add “page” : “all” to “exportOptions” → “modifier” for
   the PDF button [just like here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/export-all-records-ignoring-pagination/).
   I already have several buttons set up through WPDA, though, with icons on them,
   which I really like. So it would be super nice if I didn’t have to write all 
   the customization you guys have already done again.
 * Another example would be “columnDefs”, which I have seen has been discussed on
   here before. That’s how I found out all suboptions you don’t explicitly specify
   will be reset to default, without retaining the stuff set up by WPDA.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdefault-advanced-options%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@mihkelroomet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mihkelroomet/),
 * Thanks for the post! There’s currently no way to see “all” the default options
   currently set by the plugin for a table.
 * An alternative way would be to create a data table with your own set of defaults,
   and then just duplicate the table when creating new ones.
 * I’ll inform Peter about possibly adding the capability of seeing and listing 
   all the default options set by the plugin. 😊
 * Let us know if you have more questions!

 * Thanks for the reply!
 * As for adding “page” : “all” to “exportOptions” → “modifier” (to essentially 
   make it **export all rows** not just the current page), which is the task that
   I was working on that led to this post, I found that simply **disabling server
   side processing** right above the Advanced Options did the trick (which is apparently
   the same as writing “serverSide”: false in Advanced Options). I guess when using
   client-side processing with paging enabled the rows not in view aren’t loaded
   in memory or something, so there is no way export them.
 * So for now, problem solved 😄 thanks again (if you did manage to add the capability
   of listing all the default option set by the plugin though, that would still 
   be awesome, I imagine that could help new users understand and get a grasp on
   the Advanced Options much quicker)
