A few weeks back I built a template that had a table and I was able to put an excerpt macro in one of the cells. I am trying to remake this template in another space and can no longer do it. It seems the editing features have changed. Is putting an Excerpt macro in a table as part of template still possible?
Hello there,
Happy to help. Can you let me know what happens when you try to add an excerpt macro into your table? I just tested it myself now in the new editor and I was able to.
If you have any screenshots of the problem, it will also help.
Regards,
Shannon
Here is a screenshot of what I was doing. I was using the new editing features in the CLOUD version.
Thank you for sharing that!
I apologize! I tested with the Excerpt Include macro but I should have tested with just the Excerpt macro. I can confirm that behavior.
The issue is related to the fact that you cannot embed a macro within another macro in the New Editor. A table is considered a Table Macro which is causing the issue.

I am a bit perplexed by your last response. You state that we "cannot embed a macro within another macro in the New Editor." Yet you also state that you were able to insert an Excerpt Include macro inside a Table Macro. "I just tested it myself now in the new editor and I was able to."
Did you misstate something or were you truly able to add the Excerpt Include Macro in a Table macro. If so, why won't a Except macro work when an Excerpt Include does?
What other macros work/don't work in tables?
What other functionality has been removed within the new editor?
