Thanks @Steve-Mcl, this seems to have solved the issue!

Maybe you (and/or @joepavitt) can advise me on something else: I just added a new feature to my dash-2.0 table node (`@omrid01/node-red-dashboard-2-table-tabulator`) allowing to override its default container (Div) and "plug" it into a specified Div in another UI form. This way I am not limited to the side-by-side layout arrangement, and can also manipulate it in runtime (show/hide etc.)

So I am practically going behind the back of the dashboard. Do you see any issue or risk with this approach?

Not at all, I try not to think of anything as "going behind the back of Dashboard" - if it works, and it does what you need - crack on!
