There have been some updates to the new table element and a new data grid element!
One new bug I’ve spotted is the in app filter for the new table element doesn’t work/display when the filterable value is a split text column. This does work for the old table, and both the new and old data grids.
This column type could display the latest comment associated with the line item. With the users profile picture and a timestamp. Similar to the below mockup.
This would allow for great control over grouping and sorting the order of the groupings with the new table element. For example groups may have specific names but can still be sorted alphabetically or numerically while the display group title can be different.
It appears that the New Table is no longer selectable as an option under Previewed Features. It was definitely there last night, so this must’ve just happened within the past few hours.
I’d wrongly assumed that as the “Add action” box was empty - the action wouldn’t show. I have deleted both of those empty action items and now all good.
Having a similar issue with pagination disappearing after navigating back to the table from a detail screen.
I’ve had to display a hint, prompting users to click the 3 dots menu inside the table, then its visible again.
In the previous version of the Data Grid, users could easily transfer data from external tables into Glide using the classic Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V method. It worked great with any number of rows and columns. The new version of the Data Grid only allows adding a value to a single cell, and this is a huge problem.
The previous version of the Data Grid is no longer available.
I’m not sure if I’m pointing out the same thing, but I consider it a bug that the new table doesn’t sort groups, only items within the group, whereas the old table sorted the groups according to the items, as well as the items.
This makes a difference for us in our use case. In the old table we used as a schedule for the day, the groups were crews and the items were jobs. It was nice to be able to order not just the jobs, but the crews as well when looking at the whole day.
