I’m working on an app that relies heavily on displaying data in various tables, and as you can imagine, managing performance and user experience is crucial. A few weeks ago, I recall Bubble mentioning that native table pagination was in the works and could potentially be released by the end of the year.
Given this, I’ve been holding off on implementing a custom pagination solution, hoping to leverage the native feature once it’s available. However, as my app grows and the tables become more data-intensive, I’m starting to feel the pressure to take action now.
Has anyone heard any updates on this feature? Should I wait a bit longer for its release, or would it be wiser to start implementing a custom pagination setup now? Any insights, tips, or suggestions from those in the same boat would be greatly appreciated!
wouldn’t hold your breathe - I’d just build the custom pagination (I still prefer repeating groups over the table as I think the table is still very beta and lacking critical features like pagination so I never use it)
I agree, bubble was supposed to be released at the end of the year, but for the moment it’s just silence. Hoping that bubble respects their word. in the meantime I recommend custom pagination because there is no security at the moment even if bubble had spoken about it.
I would also recommend to re-do the work with a repeating group. You have so much more flexibility and control over everything. Even if they release pagination (which I highly doubt) than the table element is still crap.
Btw creating pagination with rg is a thing of 15 minutes…
thank you @fede.bubble for your feedback. It has been said in June’s Product Sesh 32:31.
I hope that something is coming near as all the community is needing it.
create a reuseable element for the pagination of repeating groups… saves so much time to be able to just add a pager to any repeating group and not have to build it every time
I have a similar situation to yours. I’m building an application that displays a lot of data in large tables. I almost managed to create the table I need, but it took a lot of work. I have to admit that WeWeb has created a wonderful feature – Datagrid. It’s simply perfect for my use case. If Bubble could do something like that, I wouldn’t need anything else at this point.
and still as of Feb 2026 we have no pagination workable in Tables. I don’t think folk who use Repeating Groups understand how we, who use tables for larger amount of data, just can’t use RPG’s. Column titles are 'essential’ in my view and proper pagination so you can say display say 100 rows then ‘next’ etc and number of ‘paginated pages’ - all pretty standard in the other coding worlds. Please Bubble have a good look at this. Thanks.
