Issues with Tables Pinned to a Text Field Not Adjusting Auto Flow

[MitchyBeMitchin]

I have a text field which I have pinned multiple tables to. The tables occur in the flow of the text field one after another.

After doing so, I went to edit the first table in the sequence and inserted a row into that table. After doing so, the inline position of the following tables did not change position to accommodate the now larger first table. This led to the bottom of the first table becoming hidden behind the following inline table.

Is this something that should be able to function properly, or is there something I need to do to have the text field recalculate the auto flow positions for the tables after the height of one has changed?

 

As an additional related question... I have the text field auto spanning across pages. It seems like affinity does not auto split tables to keep them inline if the entire table will not fit on the page. Instead, it places the table on the next page instead and just leaves a space in the flow of the text field at the bottom of that page. Is this just the default behavior which can be adjusted, or is this currently the only behavior?

 

Thanks,

Mitchell

Publisher has no support for tables that span across pages. If a table must cross a page boundary, you will have to manually break it into two tables, and fit them onto their own pages individually.

I have no idea about your first question.

Do you have new paragraphs for each table or are they pinned one after the other on one line?

Are the tables' pins set like this

Pin

Pin

Pin 

or are they like this

Text text Pin Pin Pin text

more text

The tables take up the full width of the textbox, so they are stacked vertically on top of each other.

Originally I had no space between them, so they were displaying as so:

Pinned Table

Pinned Table

Pinned Table

I went ahead and tried adding lines between them like this:

Pinned Table

 

Pinned Table

 

Pinned Table

but that has not resolved the issue. If I add rows to the first table in the text field, the second and third tables on the same page stay exactky where they are.

Where are they Pinned. If you did that spacing in your bottom example by adding some character, and you Pin to that character, then when the character moves the table should also move (in theory).
