Change in Table behavior

Hi Ron,

(aside: we unfortunately had to rollback the platform version due to another issue. the new table will become available again after this is fixed, but is currently not present)

Thanks for the feedback.

We indeed changed the tablefield in the latest platform release. The reasons for these are:

  • improved stability: the previous table implementation was difficult to maintain and we think this new implementation improves this situation
  • more extension possibilities: there are a lot of feature requests around the tablefield. this new tablefield is a better starting position for feature additions

To answer on your observed shorcomings:

  • CTRL + Z support: we are aware of this, but prefer working on a global undo command that also work for the other fields in the editor
  • Copy-paste: i have trouble replicating your issue and we have tested this extensively before rollout. Could it be that your browser blocks access to the clipboard? What browser are you using?
  • Enter to add new row: the enter input triggers the edit mode of the cell, which is the same as how this works in google sheets. It also jumps to the next row if available, but indeed does not create a new row if it is the latest. We are aware of this limitation, can you explain why this functionality is important for you?
