Since about 1.5 years there have been reported several bugs about Deck View with Nested table column.
I want to summarize them here.
AppSheet Team: Please tell us frankly, if you will fix them, or if we should avoid using Nested table column.

Not working in Dashboard
When the โNested table columnโ option is chosen for a Deck view, and that Deck view is viewed within a Dashboard, the nested table does not show. When the Deck view is viewed outside the Dashboard, the nested table shows, as expected. This behaviour is consistent across mobile and browser views.
Iโm not sure if this is a bug or just a limitation of Deck Views. The Nested Table Column for the Deck displays as expected in a standard view,

โฆbut is missing from that same view when itโs part of a Dashboard.

Not able to set the number of Max. nested rows
I have a deck view with a nested table column. It seems to limit the number of rows shown in the nested table in deck view to 7โฆ is there a setting that allows me to change this number? Iโd love to increase it to show an inline table with more rows directly in the deck view.
Table view no consistent column widths
Hi Community,
I wonder if someone could help, Iโve a deck view with a nested table column but it looks odd.

Would anyone know if this can be straightened out?
Best,

The column widths are not consistent from row to row in a Deck View embedded table creating a very difficult to read table view [25%20AM]
Clicking on a Child row will open the Parent
In a Deck View with Nested table column Iโve set Row Selected to **auto**.
In the Table Inline View Iโve set Row Selected to Edit.
When I click on the Deck, it opens the Detail view. --> Pefect.
When I click on an item in the Inline Table View, it opens the Parentโs Detail View AND the Childโs Form View. --> Should only open the Childโs Form View.

The column width of the Table Inline View is not consistent.
It should look like in the Parentโs Detail View:

Large white space gap between Deck View items
I like the concept of nested tables in a Deck View. But there are a few issues that keep me from using them related to the Deck View fixed height when the Nested Tables are added.
When a table has only a few lines there is a large gap left between one Deck View item and the next - due to a fixed height. This gap should be dynamic up to any size limiting factor meaning it should dynamically reduce the white space gap between Deck View items until it reaches the maximum Deck View item height. โฆ

Does anyone have a solution to the giant white space below rows in a deck view with nested table columns? It would be really nice to be able to display more than 2 lines of text while getting the swipe left and right functionality of the deck view
