Hello,
i would like to edit the backgroundcolor of a tablecell in a ui table node with the payload coming from a function node.
It worked with an html cell and a hex colorcode payload. But with that method i dont know how to put other content in that cell.
I found the thread with examples for ui tables. Here was the idea of creating html code with color and content for a table. But the whole data came as html. i would like to use html only for specific cells.
so i tried to send : `35
`
to a cell, formated as html. Sadly i only get the content but not the color. I tried the color as hexcode as well.
maybe someone has a hint to get it to work ?
btw i am not good at html...
I think the flow wont help here.
Greetings

There is typo: `sytle` should be `style`

You might also want to check the rendered HTML using the dev tools to see whether each cell has a unique identifier on it. If so, that may help you with overriding the formatting.
