Thanks to the team work, the bug that Summary row cover the one row of table was fixed in recent update, and it's work perfect.

But when you expand a row, the height of outter table was set automatically yet.
Here is my table with auto heigth check.

When I click to expand row, the table4 height don't auto be refresh.

In my use case I have very much table which rely on the auto height feature of table, because it can be so effective make use of space in main frame, and the return data of query is various
in length. Set a fixed height is not fitted for our use case.

+1 on this request - particularly maddening if there is more than 1 level of depth

It seems to have improved to a certain extent. If I have a table which has only two level of expandable. It will work good, when I click + to add more row, the height of table will auto increate to include the new added row.

But If I have a table of three level of expandable, when I add the new rows to the third table, the height of second table still no increate.

Here is vedio show it.

I also have this issue. I occurs when a table has a grouping plus expandable rows.

Here's a screen recording with a log of my console and browser info: Jam

Hi Tess, is there an update on this?

We make heavy use of small tables with editing in our retool and bumping into this. EG you can see below. Even if I click expand / collaspe it does not fill up the table, but I need to expand.

This is pretty urgent for us as it effects the usablity of our entire app in quite a few places.

One more point: if last row is expanded, it works as expected. But expansion of any row above last one is not working as expected.
This topic's age is more than one year and still not fixed! This is one of the key components and it isn't usable in many scenarios. Please fix it. Thanks.

I'm also experiencing this issue. So far I've tried:

  • Table in Tab Group with auto height (both grid + stack)
  • Table in Tab Group with fixed height (for the tab group)
  • Table in Tab Group with fill height (for the table)
  • Table in Container with auto-height
  • Table in Container with expand content to fill

In each of these cases I still continue to see an inner scrollbar for the Table component, along with the outer scrollbar for the webpage.

@Tess Does this bug, that prevents users from using the app really does take you and retool 1,5 years?

How many years does this still take?

Hi @Jesse_Klotz,

Thanks for checking in. Unfortunately, this request was moved to our backlog internally and it isn't being prioritized.

We are still tracking feedback, but I don't see this being picked up soon :disappointed: I'd recommend implementing a workaround for the time being
