Idea is to have select or multiselect values based on the filters currently set in one or more columns. Column parameter syntax would be similar to dependent: <column_selector> or dependent: [<column_selector>, ...]. Possibly column_selector needs to be limited to certain types, e.g., column number (index selector), {string}:name, string [jQuery selector], as not quite sure how dataTables columns() function will behave in other circumstances.
The dependent parameter would/could only be used on columns whose filter_type is select or multi_select.
Starting to research what it would take to supply PR for this -- I think need to do following, but any guidance would be appreciated.
On initialization,
within 'dependent' columns save the select columns which are dependent on the changes for this column
On dependent column change
save table state somehow
for each select column dependent on this column
execute .search().draw() for (only) this select column's dependent columns
update select options for this select column based on draw results()
