What I’m asking for:
When editing a row layout (expanded row, detail view, or form), I’d like the ability to insert a freestanding section header or divider between fields - similar to how you might add an H2 or a horizontal rule on a page. Something like a “Add section header” element in the layout editor that lets you type a label and place it between groups of columns.
Why it matters:
Our team uses tables with a lot of columns - things like OKR tracking, project management, check-ins. When someone expands a row, all the fields just stack in order with no visual grouping other than rearranging/turning off certain columns. It’s hard to scan quickly, especially for people who aren’t in the doc every day.
Being able to label groups of fields (e.g. “Background”, “Timeline”, “Team Info”) would make expanded rows and detail views dramatically more readable and usable - especially for teams onboarding new members or sharing docs with stakeholders.
What I’ve tried:
The closest workaround is creating a dummy column with a name like “── Section Name ──” and styling it large in the layout, but this pollutes the actual table schema and is fragile.
What I’d love to see:
- A “+” or “insert” option in the layout editor to add a section header element (not tied to any column)
- Ability to type a label and optionally style it (bold, color, size)
- Optionally: a divider line style for a lighter visual separator
This would make row layouts feel much closer to a proper form or document, which is exactly how our team uses them.
