Table data for different records

    hello,

    On a site I require a table of a standard layout that is used for many different product records. Can I set up a 2-column table where on the left column will be fixed labels and the right column select fields in each cell where I add select choices.

    For each record I then use this table as a master, creating a table based on it and change the right column select choices specifically for each record.

    If I change the master (i.e change label text or add more select options) this change affects the copies. So I only need to modify one table to make structural changes to all.

    Is this a good use for Tablepress or should it be achieved with programming and separated fields, and a simpler table template inside the theme template etc.

    thanks,

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    No, sorry, something like this is not possible with TablePress. All tables are logically disconnected, and don’t allow for such a “master” table idea.
    You should probably look into a custom layout/styling solution.

    maybe I should just keep them logically disconnected, and see how the maintenance demands go, and take it from there.

    Thanks Tobias
