Table Improvements (Interactive Tables System)

Feature Upgrade · Interactive tables · Created by Bonus Action

accepted

Let me preface this by saying I considered splitting these all up, but have decided to put them all in the same request and put 'm all up for debate at once.

Current Situation

The tables tool is great, but it could use a couple of upgrades for usability and formatting. Especially when making large tables (such as d100 random tables), I find it becomes a bit unwieldy.

Proposed changes

Note: These are all options of improving the system and I don't think they would remove any functionality from the current situation, if you feel like any of it does, please let me know in your reply.
Ability to better organize tables Simply put, folders or some other system to organize tables within the tool would be great.

Ability to add a number of rows
Currently there is a + that adds a single row when you create a table, I would like a way to add any number of rows. My suggestion would be to maybe add # field before the +. This way it becomes easier to get the table size you need.

Ability to scale columns more precisely It would be great if it were possible to give a set width to a column in numbers. This way tables can be made more consistent across the board. I know there is a 'copy' method, but I think it is nice to be able to scale columns by an exact number. This feature could be integrated in the 'EDIT COLUMN' menu.

Autofill numbers When using a numbers column, being able to have the system automatically fill it from 1-(end number) would be great. I don't think this needs much further explanation. This could also be added in the EDIT COLUMN menu.

Ability to split table into (even) columns I personally like to make huge d100 random tables of names and the like, but with the current setup this ends up with a long list from 1-100 which isn't very user friendly on a webpage. (Example: https://seaofstarlight.com/a/voice-acting-references-article) This is especialy true when the second column is a name, or something short. It would be great if there would be a possiblity to split up the table evenly into columns. In the case of a d100, one from 1-50 and one 51-100 so they can sit side by side on a webpage. Quick example: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/413706576470474753/903652331319595098/unknown.png?width=1146&height=904

Other uses

In the case of splitting the table into even columns I also feel like this could be a great thing to do with lists, but that is probably a separate feature request.
Looking forward to seeing your thoughts and ideas! (p.s. i hope these links work)

Please, if only so we can change tables post-creation.

Being able to organise tables into folders would be really helpful for keeping things manageable.

Would love some more table implementation. Random tables are a great tool, and tables are useful for much more than that.

I like all these suggestions. I have another to include too... how about the ability to make an individual row or column of a table private? You can then reveal certain data only to specified people whilst allowing others to see the rest of the table.

My vote is only for "number of rows" and "split tables", i don't think the rest are necessary.
