Solved: Overflowing table rows on appsheet generated docum... - Page 2

Hello, I have a problem about the PDF that i'm generating via appsheet. I wanted to make a quotation, where the contents are in a form of tables.

There's this one particular row that has a lot of contents (takes data from appsheet in longtext form) and i want to make the contents overflow between pages. I have the button to "allow row to overflow across pages" checked, but when I generate the PDF, it doesn't work (that contents moved onto the next page, leaving an awkward blank)

I have tried it before and it was successful but I don't know what I did today that made it go wrong again. Could you please help?

Thank you in advance

Steve

Is there any other way to make this work?

Use an HTML template, then you have complete control.

is there any expression that works like Start: expression but can be used for list type column?

Not directly. If the elements of your list are of type Ref, you can use them. Another approach would be to create a table specifically to do what you want. The table would have one column, of type Number. You'd add as many rows as you think you'd ever have list items, with the Number column values ranging from 1 to whatever that most number is. Then you can use this table in your <<Start>> tag to generate indexes into the list.
