Retool Bug? Cannot set Table Row Height programmatically

💬 App Building

  • Goal: Changing the height of rows programmatically from "xsmall" to "dynamic" via a checkbox or variable is not working for DYNAMIC only. xsmall, small, large all work fine.

  • Steps: I have attempted several versions of creating a string value of "dynamic" to input into the Row Height FX field, to no avail. Manually entering a string of "dynamic" results in the removal of the end "c" and does not set the string correctly. After re-entering "dynamic" into the FX text field, it can be set but it does not work with a variable or other method to change the string input for the Row Height field.

  • Details: Here is a link to a quick Loom video showing the issue

  • WorkArounds: Is it possible to change the Row Height in a table via a Component Change as opposed to using FX to set?

Thanks so much!

I confirm I was able to reproduce this, "dynamic" won't work properly when being used as a variable.

Must likely a bug. I don't think there is an easy workaround for this @Switchboard, sorry.

Thank you so much for sharing a video of the behavior @Switchboard!

Can confirm this is a bug and I can file a bug report on this right now to our UI engineering team.

Great catch and hopefully I will update this post with some good news of this being fixed shortly :+1:
