Table Columns Disappears

powerlogic2008 · 2024-11-09T19:32:37.139Z

Hello all,

I checked other responses for this issue, but seems it’s not yet resolved…I copied below bug recreation details from an older post…

If you set a table column to “This element is not visible on page load” and refresh the dashboard. It hides the column and cannot be unhidden or selected because it does not exist in the elements tree.

You can recreate the bug like this:

Add a table element,
Click on the column tab letter

and Uncheck the This element is visible on page load

Refresh the dashboard, You won’t be able to find the column again.

Question: how can we get the hidden column visible again? Yes, we can find it in top elements search bard along with side elements tree, but we don’t have access to any settings related to the column itself.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

I noticed this issue since table’s day one…i hope the Bubble team will update this element as it became very important in dashboards conception

True, this is very important.

I have added conditionals, but now unable to access the column to update the same.

The Table element has been in Beta (AFAIK) since release. It’s jank.

Also don’t expect the team to fix issues with the Table element anytime soon.

hello @ihsanzainal84 do you have any insights from the inside ?
how can pass the message that this element is becoming very important and need to be update !!

I’m not an insider. I just read the forums.

GOT THE SOLUTION!

Make a workflow on the page: say when bla-bla - show element = “column X” , then rightclick on it: reveal element. it will pop up, then reclick “show element on page load” in the property section of the column.

Cheers

Good tip. It works! But no solution. Can anyone confirm that bubble is working on this?

You should be able to find hidden columns / rows in tables by searching for them in the dropdown in the top left of the editor. This post has a screengrab.
