I could well have missed something obvious but I can’t find how to dynamically update a value in a row in a dashboard 2 Table ( without refreshing everything ) I’ve done it in the past with a dashboard 1 table, but I can’t figure how to do it for a dashboard 2 table - any help appreciated

The dashboard v1 table node is based on the `Tabulator` JS package, which supports dynamic selective table updates. You can try the dashboard v2 `@omrid01/node-red-dashboard-2-table-tabulator` node, which supports your requirement (plus many, many additional features).

Thanks I’ll take a look at that - however I do believe the dashboard 2 ui-table can do it, but the documentation doesn’t make clear how to do it, and I would prefer to use the ui-table as its a part of the dashboard 2 widget set ( if that makes sense )

Currently, we can only _append_ a single row, or a collection of data, or _replace_ the whole table. We have no way of updating a single row, however, I do have an idea on how we could do that quite "easily", have opened [Allow definition of "unique" property for tables to support single row updates · Issue #1675 · FlowFuse/node-red-dashboard · GitHub](https://github.com/FlowFuse/node-red-dashboard/issues/1675)

Thanks @omrid @joepavitt for the feedback - I’ve got the ui-tabulator doing what I wanted for now, so that’s great, and I’ll keep an eye on enhancements to ui-table and head there when it has the feature I’m after
