I would like to insert a table with buttons using the cross-doc functionality, but when I insert a table with button column type those columns simply disappear. Is this a limitation of a cross-doc feature or is it a bug?
I show you:
Here is the preview window for cross-doc table inserting showing the table with the button:
And here is the result:
Button column disappears!
It is the same behaviour even if I switch on or off the two-way edits and immediate refresh or the Shared/Private account option.
Nevertheless the page where I want to insert is on Full control locking option.
Anyone knows what is the problem?

This is now a bug but a feature.
The execution context of the button would have to be the target document - all references to tables and control values would be those in the target document.
But when you create the button, you are in the context of the source document - and so the button would d be built using references to tables and control variables in the source document… and those would be invalid in the target document.
There may be other reasons as well, but the impact is that button columns are not available in cross-doc tables.
