Converting legacy table to new table and having access to the newest features [self-hosted]

App Building
1

I'm taking over an existing project that unfortunately has been built using the legacy table. There are 2 main features I'm looking to add:

  1. Create a search bar that will filter the table
  2. Set a multi-column sorting logic by default

Both of these seems to be available using the new table component. Is there a way how to gently migrate a legacy table to a new table, preserving as much of the logic and formatting of the columns as possible? The migration page seems to be down: https://docs.retool.com/apps/web/concepts/table-legacy-comparison

Additionally, I tried adding the new table component manually to test the functions. In the "Advanced" part of Interactions, I am unable to select more than 1 column to sort by and the UI looks different than in New Table features.

We are self hosting version 3.33.35, could this be the case?

Regards,
Stefan

Hi @Stekar,

Unfortunately, there is not an automated migration path to upgrade to the new table :disappointed: Switching to the new table ultimately requires deleting the legacy table and replacing it with the new table (as well as modifying any table queries/logic accordingly).

The doc appears to be working for me, btw :thinking:

Yes, since you're using v3.33, there will be some features from our docs that aren't available to you yet. We have a newer stable release, which you can read about here. This is what the feature looks like on 3.52:
