Table element - need more love ;)

Questions

Hi Bubble Team!
I switched to Bubble from another no-code platform and love it so far — no regrets!
The only thing I really miss is a solid Table/DataGrid element. My previous platform nailed it, but in Bubble it’s still in beta and feels a bit limited.

Any plans to improve it?

I agree my dear friend, you can support us in the thread Pagination in table...Coming soon?

it’s been on beta for a couple years now, and i believe that with the scope of AI integration, it will keep that way for a little longer.

I’ll do so!

I would like to see proper pagination, sorting, and more flexible settings. Without these, it’s hard to build more complex data interfaces. I hope the team will pay attention to this request soon

the team is actively working on finally bringing the table element out of beta and fully featured!
Here’s the update:

just back from holiday and see that the Table Element is soon to be out of beta. At last! Here’s a couple of things that could be improved for starters:

  1. I want to use ‘input elements’ in the table instead of ‘text elements’ because I want Users to be able to modify the data using auto-bind. These do work but the text does not ‘wrap’ as it does if a text element is used.
  2. When I want to highlight a row if a user has selected it, I have to send the row index no to a State and use a conditional that says if row index State is same as this row index then bgnd colour of xyz. It would be nice to have a row’s colour change as an option in the editor if the row is selected by the user (either clicked or hovered). It would save setting up a State to check the index no.
  3. The header row doesn’t appear to really be sticky, even when I set it.

It’s a great feature though and I couldn’t create my app with out it. The Repeating Group feature is not comprehensive enough for detailed lists of data.

cheers
