I’m building a time tracker doc. I have two tables: activities and categories, many-to-one. Each activity has a button that adds itself to a log. I want to display categories table in such way that for each category, a list of inline buttons for respective activities is drawn. The straightforward s…

Hello. I don’t have a precise solution, but one possible band-aid may be to use grouping: [image] To achieve this, I created a view of the Activities table, then chose group along the left for the Group column. [image] Again, not quite what you are looking to achieve. I am interested to see i…

Yeah, thanks for the answer, but grouping doesn’t work like I want. I specifically would like inline buttons. Or, at least, anything that would be vertically compact enough.

Yeah, I came across it by accident. Last I asked Coda, it was still very experimental.
