Tables displayed as outlines — outline layouts

[Pch]

Hi @Bruce_F_Donnelly and Welcome back to the Community !

Group lets you do something similar, but it is different when it comes to multiple values in a column.

To be honest, I think you could easily do something similar using a Lookup (instead of simple select list) and group a Relationship table instead of People and Relationships (see the sample )

As for creating outlines based on the content of tables, it’s possible using canvas formulas
(See below the 2 tables in the sample ).

For example, a canvas formula such as this one …

Relationship.FormulaMap(
  List(
    CurrentValue.Relationship,
    BulletedList(CurrentValue.[People & Relationship].Name)
  ).Join(Character(10))
).BulletedList()

would return …

With Coda New Editor (currently in Beta), announced during the last Block Party …

A formula looking like this …

Relationship.FormulaMap(
  Concatenate(
    CurrentValue.Relationship,
    BulletedList(CurrentValue.[People & Relationship].Name)
  )
).Join(LineBreak())

… would return

Here’s another topic with a somewhat similar demand / possibilities of gathering content from tables

How to generate doc content from table?

Is it possible to generate text from a table? A minimum example would be something like: Table: [image] Text pattern: [Task Owner] in [Tasks] will take care of [Sub-tasks] Desired Output: “John in Task 1 will take care of Sub task 1” “Jeoff in Task 2 will take care of Sub task 2” “Jeoff in Task 2 will take care of Sub task 3” I’m really new to Coda and don’t know it’s the right tool to achieve such functionalities.

(Don’t hesitate if you need explanations … I was just trying to show you some ideas )
