Description

I have a datatable with scrollResize: true, but I have other datatables inside of this one with scrollResize:false (they are created dinamically). The result is that scrollResize is applied to everyone with the used height in the first one. Seeing the JS source is logic, but I don't know to find a solution. Can anyone help me?
Thanks.

Research direction

Reproduce the reported case with an outer DataTable using scrollResize:true and dynamically created inner DataTables using scrollResize:false. Start by tracing how scrollResize selects and applies heights across nested tables. Done means the outer table keeps its configured height while inner tables retain scrollResize:false.
