I seem to have encountered a situation where there are columns in my table that I cannot select in the design tab of the Bubble editor. They are width 0 apparently.
Is there a way to select the columns of a table without having to click it in the design visualizer?
For example, how do I select columns E and F from the design builder’s elements tree? I can’t seem to find that, and if the design visualizer is the only way to select a column (and therefore delete a column) I think there’s a gross bug (and bad UX design) involved here. There needs to be representation of every column somewhere other than the design visualizer.
Can anyone help?
Here is how the table appears in the design visualizer (note no columns E or F)
Here is the table in the design builder element tree (note empty cells for invisible columns E and F)
Hm… because what I am building benefits from a strict table row/column structure. I used to use RGs to fake this structure before Tables were added to bubble, but there are a number of benefits to using Tables that make maintaining them way easier (that’s why they added, right?). I am sure you know this too, as a “Bubble-Certified Developer 2024”.
Is that really your response? “Don’t use that element”.
Can someone else please provide insight here that is… a bit more helpful?
Currently there’s no way to select columns from the tree. You can use the search function though. Still very sucky but that’s the only way other than in the WYSIWYG window.
I can confirm that this does not fix the issue. I hard refresh bubble every now and then for unrelated reasons (usually slow editor perf even on my beastly gaming laptop) and this does not fix the issue.
Sorry for not providing as much context and for the delay.
My suggestion about the repeating group was made because I think they’re much better than the Table element. Repeating groups are much more flexible right now—for example, you can’t change the name of your columns and rows in the Table element. But that might be more of a personal preference than absolute truth. Because in software, there are N ways to reach a result, and it doesn’t mean that way X is better than way Y, sometimes yes, sometimes no hehe.
But if the Table element works for you, that’s fine too. I’m happy that our other colleagues were able to help you too.
Could you send a video or GIF of exactly what happens when you try to delete the column?
