More improvements to tables in docs - BIG TIME
planned
A
Arek
It looks like tables in docs have been slightly improved - https://clickup.canny.io/feature-requests/p/improve-tables-in-docs-big-time.
However, still big improvements are needed:
* Background color
* Header formatting
* More column width control
* Cell merging
* Center align tables
* They still look ugly
* ... I could go on and on
At the very least implement something like Typora has - more control, more formatting options and rendering is quite good for markdown tables.

We used to just copy a simple Word doc table, and paste into task description for 2-3 columns of translation text. Now we have numerous forced-formatting options, adding yet another step and none of them working correctly. :(

I would like to be able to add in images.

I would like to have the option to insert an existing table into a clickup doc OR sort text into the columns of a table

Hi Brent I see this has been marked as "planned" for some time... Any update on when it might be coming? 😌
Brent
Hi Adam Bunch, thanks so much for your message. We really appreciate hearing your interest and feedback!
We are actively planning improvements to current table functionalities, as well as new features such as vertical alignment and multi-select for bulk formatting actions. We'll be sure to update the status of this request as we move forward!

Agree this really needs looking at ASAP as they are totally unusable inside documents.

Need:
a) format text in cells using the "turn into" function (duh)!
b) Add items like checklists (cut and pasting doesn't work properly... can't select a checkbox for example once pasted into a cell)
c) ability to cut and paste data across columns / rows
d) Select and edit an entire row (e.g. simply bolding the title row)
e) Align column widths across multiple tables. (even if it was a snap to grid type approach) - just need a quick way to ensure multiple tables are the same column widths.
f) Format "painter" (like "MS Word")
g) Get rid if bugs (e.g. columns suddenly getting hidden when deleting above the table)

Please add an option to Wrap/Unwrap the text inside a cell of the table in the Doc. For particular cell and for entire table.

Mads Ellegård
Need the ability to add tags and use them as filter.
Mike McCaman
Please add the ability to use slash commands inside of a table

Heavily agree on this. tables in docs are impossible to work with once created. Creating a table with Ai is easy, but if you ever need to do something to it you have to block off a couple hours just to get it looking correct.
Lots of improvement needed on tables. Great call out OP.
