Hiding fields on embedded Database doesn't seem to work

[Maik van Rossum]

Hello,

Since the latest migration of the Databases for Confluence the way databases are embedded onto pages has changed.

On larger tables vertical and also horizontal scrollbars appear. The latter is really quite annoying and crippling the user experience when scrolling a page that includes a full-width Database table. There really should be a setting to avoid these kind of scrollbars.

Is this on the roadmap?

But, to avoid vertical scrolling the number of columns can be reduced... at least, as this function would work as expected. When embedding a Database there's an option to HIDE FIELDS, that works as expected within the 'preview pane'.

But after adding, publishing and refreshing the page, the full database including all its columns is displayed. No filtering or hiding of columns like in the preview.

Is this a known bug?

Regards,
Maik

Agreed, @Maik van Rossum.

I am experiencing the same issues with saved filters and hidden columns working correctly when applied but not persisting when the page is refreshed.

Respectfully,

Richmond

Thanks for the confirmation of a / the bug.

In my case the columns even don't persist when applying the settings and closing the pop-over window.

Maik

I'm seeing behaviour similar to this  (Regarding filtering and hiding).  Embedding a DB allows me to set my hidden fields and filters in the embed pop up, but as soon as that goes it reverts to an unfiltered database view.

I have 'old' embedded database inserts that are filtering OK (as this used to work) but as soon as I try to meddle with them, I lose all filtering.

I'm hoping this is accepted as a bug rather than an intended feature :-)

Cheers, Pete

@Matthew Machuca @Christina Ristevski could you please confirm that this is a known bug or not?

No response from the team, then I will send in a support request because it's just another bug.
