Description - A new parameter field type "table" to be added to the custom form with size selection (no. of rows, no.of columns) & field type selection (number cell, date cell, text cell) & color coding for cells

Why is this feature important to you - It is important to obtain certain crucial information in the form of a table to go ahead with the work request

How would you like the feature to work - Allow selection of a table with size, field type, color coding, aggregation

Current Behaviour - No feature to add a table type parameter field to the custom form

    This would be a great add for custom forms.  Right now if they want to have 10 rows with 4 columns, I have to create 40 new fields to be able to capture the information.  Brillant!!

    Thanks for the great idea! I have a question: how do you expect such fields to behave in reporting? Or is it needed only for object details pages?

    This is a must needed feature for Workfront, We're currently having to use other external software due to this missing feature. I wouldn't need to report on the table fields, just need a table to provide clear technical specifications to my team members.

    @gagiksukiasyanThis is intended to receive information only (upto the objects' details page) and maybe an option to export this tabular data input as a spreadsheet. But definitely not for reporting purposes as it is complex to reference each cell of a table with a Name.

    We need this so bad! We have numerous examples where this would be helpful.

    Hi All, Thanks for all your comments!

    I'm letting you know that I don't ignore you, and we are exploring possibilities of prioritizing or finding quick ways of satisfying this need. 

     

    Would it help if you had a table functionality inside Rich Text Field?

    Yes that would be a good place to start!

    Another vote for inline editable tables that refer to WF Planning data and other native data. Many of our top enterprise customers are asking for this. Thanks for your support!

    +1 on this recommendation!

     

    I could see this functionality being used when you need to enter in a series of input that all have a common value. For example, if I wanted to itemize giveaways I intend to bring to an event and want to capture the value of each parcel of giveaways. 

    Columns: Descriptive text field (e.g. Items), Dollar Value field (e.g. $500, $1500, etc)

    Rows: Items (e.g.) T-Shirts, Hats, Lanyards (these are all just descriptive text fields

     

    The table could then provide a summation of the total value of giveaways I intend to bring to the event (the Workfront project). I would then (in theory) be able to create a report showing all Giveaways and their value for the year. 

     

    In a perfect state, this table would also auto-generate a new row when a row is filled in so it can expand as needed. 

     

    I hope to see this come to life, it would be a total game changer.

     

    Thank you,

     

    Corey
