I have a detail view and in the tables in that view I would like to apply some logic based on the selected row in the detailed view, is that possible somehow?

+1 for this question. I would like to apply filters, select controls etc. using what’s selected in detail view. Please!

👋 Hey there @Robert_Hart !

Welcome to the Coda Community. Can you explain more what you are trying to do?

If you have a Canvas column you can input filters, select controls, and more right into the detail view of a row.

_ **Even without a Canvas column** _ there are still ways to use buttons that act as filter on aspects of your row within a detail view as well seen in this GIF
