Hi @Tess
Any update on this or is it still stuck in the backlog? Any ETA when we can expect this functionality?

Welcome to the community, @Kobus_van_Wyk! Can you be more specific about the functionality that you're looking for? There's been quite a bit of feedback in this thread and I'd like to better understand the ask.

In general, though, we haven't prioritized working on dynamic column settings. Custom CSS can enable a lot more styling, but getting it to work with dynamic table content might be challenging.

Dynamic columns styling:

  • Column width
  • Cell color (background, text)
  • Cell font styling
  • In summary: Adding a css class name per dynamic column as dynamic columns can be different.

Main focus for me would be to add a Dynamic styling that contains a styling css class.
Currently using all Dynamic Settings: Label, Format, Hidden and Editable.
Example: [‘class1’,’class2’,’class1’,’class2’,’class1’,’class2’,’class1’,’class2’]
CSS:

class1 {
   background-color: rgb(234, 240, 254);
   color: rgb(13, 13, 13);
   width: 60px;
}
class2 {
   background-color: rgb(34, 40, 254);
   color: rgb(3, 3, 3);
   width: 800px;
}
