Table max page size above 20

Is there any way to get the Auto table max page size to go up to 200 instead of 20?

Hey @mwh22! It looks like this isn't currently supported, but you may be able to achieve what you're looking for in Fixed mode. Would you mind sharing a bit more about what you're currently trying to do? :slight_smile:

Thanks, Victoria! Yes, the use case is the following:

I have a table in a tabbed container. Sometimes the table has 5 rows, sometimes it has 500 rows. When it has hundreds of rows, I'd like user to easily be able to view those rows without having to paginate or scroll - just by scrolling down the page. But if I make the fixed height really tall, then the container looks weird when there are only 5 rows.

Is there a reason the max page size is limited like this?

Ah, I don't think this is actually possible. I'm not sure how 20 got picked, but I'll put in a feature request to increase this page size.

In the meantime, would a list view component work? It allows you to set a dynamic height, it just requires a bit more setup than the table and doesn't have properties like selectedRow or recordUpdates.

Here are some docs on list views:

Let me know if you'd like to explore this option and I'd be happy to help answer any questions!

Thanks, @Victoria. Yes, this would be REALLY helpful for us. I don't think list view would help us since we need a number of features only available in tables.

In our upcoming table work over the next few quarters, we'll be adding an Auto & Fixed page setting! Auto will be capped at ~100 rows.

We're shipping auto-height Table v2 this week with a much higher limit on the max height. Keep an eye out and let us know how this works for you! :slight_smile: :crossed_fingers:

Exciting! Which self-hosted version will this be in?

Great question—3.2.0!
