Dropdown component in table

I saw references to using tags(dropdown) but this was in the old legacy table.
Do we have the option of a dropdown component in the new table-? if so where is it and pls point me to the relevant documentation

Thanks

Pete

Hello @peter.b ,

Retool offers a dropdown component in the new tables

  • Open the Table Component in "Edit" mode.
  • Select the column where you want the dropdown.
  • Choose "Dropdown" or "Select" as the field type.
  • Set options by either binding to a query or specifying static values.
  • Customize the dropdown's behavior, including default values and interactions with other data.

here is the relevant documentation

Hi,
Not sure where you are seeing this.
There is no option called either dropdown or select (nothing at all called 'field type')
and.. no mention of dropdown at all in the 'table documentation'

The only place i can see (from another person's example) is in the expanded row - but that's not what we want.
Do you have screenshots so i can see where to look?

Please refer to the following steps:

  1. Click on the column where you want to add a dropdown, select Tag as the format, and check the Editable box.

  2. Then in Option list either add your list manually or map it.

  3. Your column will now display as a dropdown.
