Nick,

Thanks for all your work on this. I actually went down this road almost exactly.

I actually built a very similar solution to your example a few days ago to create a table with rows that can be selected, and when selected push out a msg.payload. I’ve got a bunch of stuff in there for all the edge cases, but it works similarly to your example.

One difference was that I put the send on “tr”  
`<tr ng-repeat="option in msg.payload" ng-click="send({payload: option.value})">`

Generally, this was spot on. I’ve posted a [new question](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/cause-ui-template-node-to-reload/505?u=grendel61) related to this same component where I need to cause this component to reload when new data comes into the UI Template

Thanks again.
