Change Table From Regular Table To Detail Table

OL Connect Professional Designer

Hi,

I have a table that is a regular absolute positioned table. Using another script this table gets populated as if it was a detail table. What I want to do is use the same table but instead make it a detail table by changing the tables attributes. Below code using the table ID does change the attribute to detail. I know this because when I select the table in design mode the tables attribute “Detail Table” is set to none and when I select preview mode the attribute is set to the detail table that I want. However the table only shows the first line of the data and not the rest. Is there any other attributes that I need to configure?

query(‘#D51table’).attr(‘id’,‘D51table’);
query(‘#D51table’).attr(‘class’,‘D51TableClass’);
query(‘#D51table’).attr(‘data-column-resize’,‘True’);
query(‘#D51table’).attr(‘data-hide-when-empty’,‘True’);
query(‘#D51table’).attr(‘data-detail’,‘D51table’);

EDIT: This is what I get from the logger:

This is an order of operations issue. By the time you’re running this script to make this table a detail table, the programming that actually makes detail tables (internal script, not visible) has already run.

If you’re going to go this route, I think you’re going to have to manually create the table through your script. There’s an example of how to do this via cloning here: https://learn.objectiflune.com/fr-fr/planetpress-connect/howto/cloning-your-way-through-nested-tables

Hi AlbertsN,

Thanks for the info. If that is the case then I might as while just stick to the one clone script I already have. This exercise was merely to see if it would give a performance boost.
