Allow insertion of simple tables in specific areas.

26 votes

It might be useful if we were allowed to have simple tables (like word) for the world building, character building and ideas sections. This would allow us to create our own data grids which would be helpful.

I use tables substantially in my planning, so this feature not being available on Dabble is the main reason preventing me from using the programme. As I use them so much for world building. It doesn't even need to be anything fancy, just being able to add a really basic table into the notes pages.

I agree this would really help me, especially in the planning stages. Thank you.

Yes, yes, yes! This would be so useful! Honestly, I'm in the stage of choosing which writing software I'm going to commit to, and having this feature would definitely make my choice easier :)

Please add the ability to create a table (or rudimentary spreadsheet) within notes. This would allow for quick sketches of plot, etc. or tracking of plot elements.

"Add a Table Function Within Notes" (suggested by Kell Brigan on 2021-11-28), including upvotes (1) and comments (0), was merged into this suggestion.

Just to add to the chorus, I also use tables quite a bit in my planning, character backstory, etc. Not having this feature really requires quite a bit of double work and there's no satisfying alternative.

A table would definitely be helpful with my LitRPG works. Right now I'm having to reformat everything when I want to publish
