Hello guys, I am unsure if it's a bug or if there is an option to avoid this.
I am trying to update a tag column, no problem until there. But when the records are in the last five rows, the information of the tag column seems not to detect that that is the border of the table or the screen. So, the user can not see the options to update the column.
See below:
Thank you!
Hello @RafaelEc,
As you mentioned, when editing the tag column in the last five rows, the dropdown options do appear, but they may extend beyond the visible area. However, the options are still accessible as a scrollable list. You can scroll through the list to view and select all available tag options.
Here’s a screenshot for your reference:

Hi @RafaelEc,
This is a known bug in retool for a while (see this post where I requested this to be fixed)
My suggestion would be to either add some margin on bottom to allow for options to be shown or a divider below your table to add some extra space at the bottom of the screen.
Thank you @WidleStudioLLP, for your reply.
Sometimes, depending on the screen size, you might see at least one option or sometimes only the search bar of the tag column. But when you scroll down, retool don't go one by one to select the option, instead go to the bottom of the options or the first one. However, I appreciate the time you spent answering.
Thank you @MiguelOrtiz for your reply.
I checked your post and yeah, same issue.
I tried to add the divider below the table, but because my container has the expand content to fit active. I am not able to add this divider below the table to create that margin. and the table that I have in the body of the container will not re-size everytime I am changing screen size. Normally, the users work with three screens and they can be different size.
Is there any workaround? or am I doing something wrong?
Thank you!
Hey @RafaelEc,
A workaround is to enable the footer of the container that has expand content to fit and add the divider there. That will give some extra space to the dropdown to show the options and the search bar.
Does that make sense?
Hey @MiguelOrtiz, that makes perfect sense.
I added the footer to my container and the divider inside of the footer. It takes up a bit of space on the table. However, users can see more than one option.
Thank you!
