That requires a bunch of extra work to create all the components. The editors have table plugins, what is wrong with enabling those?

23

Well it depends, on some cases markdown tables should be sufficent, but have you chekc CK8, if it has table plugins, you can fork the custom field repo and add plugins in your fork

24

ck5 has tables, the whole point is to not require every user to do the same task to enable these in strapi when it can be done once upstream for all users

25
26

guess you want a feature request it here then

27

I think the thing to do would be consistent, the default WYSIWYG editor.js also has tables

I’m personally interested in TipTap for WYSIWYG, which will get looked at after the effort to migrate the top-10 plugins to v5

28

I am with you.

Which plugins are you migrating?

29

I’m looking at TipTap

30

not currently working on it or using it though

Out of the options mentioned are there any that can let you build tables as a spreadsheet-esque builder as their own content type?

32

there is one editor plugin that uses Tiptap and enables tables by using its plugin table

33

I’m using excel parser and some custom components

34

But I needed tables that are comparable

35

I’m working on add features for the Tiptap plugin, but its maintainer didn’t review anything yet

36

<@712308204230541312> Here it is, Table Tiptap extension for the editor.

It will be in the official plugin once <@737376864599015428> merges the respective pull request.

Feel free to improve it and add all features you require through a pull request.

37

I think it would be nice for tables to be added in to the default rich text editor. Is there a feature request for this

38

There are a lot of feature request for the rich text editor, but it seems Slate is pretty complicated for development and the Strapi is very busy with core features
