Hi Tones, Thanks for your reminder! I have looked into the dynamic table but it seems that it does not allow me to customize the headers of columns and rows. Following your lead, I have tried to use list-links, but am still hitting some roadblocks. The code I'm currently trying is : | !Committee | !Chair | | !Agriculture | <<list-links "[field:of1[27341089]] [field:of2[27341089]]">> |
27341089 is a unique code I assign for agriculture chair, so when a new chair takes place, I'll update the relevant tiddler with the fields to make sure they auto-update in the table. However, the layout has a dot (see the attached pic, yellow shaded). Is there anyway that I can tweak the macro to remove the dot? Or should I try some different routes? Thanks a million!
