In v17, we can now get the element id’s, and also select the table objects in a document, so that is definitely an improvement.
But, in case there is more than 1 table in the document, I fail to get a reference for the table where the cursor is in… has anyone figured out how to do that? How cool would that be ;-) Rudy Mortier Two Way Communications bvba > On 11 Jul 2018, at 00:30, JOHN BAUGHMAN via 4D_Tech <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Try putting the collection in a c_object and store the c_object in an > c_object field, or put the collection directly into the c_object field > > I am assuming that $tableObj is the object reference to the table.
