Alignment issue in repeat grid
SA-13435
Summary
The fields in the expanded view in the grid are not correctly aligned with the columns present in the grid layout. Neither are they aligned as the columns, nor are they aligned in one single row.
Error Messages
Not Applicable
Steps to Reproduce
1. Log in as a user.
2. Click any of the data table links.
3. Data table contents should be displayed in the grid layout.
4. On expanding the grid row, user should be able to update the table contents with new fields displayed in the expand view. Expanded row is not correctly aligned with the grid column labels.
Root Cause
By default, the dynamic layouts use Default format (for layout and container) which aligns all the fields in separate lines. Changing the layout to Inline, aligns all the fields in one single row.
Further, since the section or flow action in the expanded pane has no reference to the repeat grid itself, it is not possible to align the expanded view fields exactly along with the grids columns.
Resolution
The fields in the expanded view can be aligned in a single row by changing or using the Inline layout format. Since the section or flow action in the expanded pane has no reference to the repeat grid itself, the only way to align the fields would be to set width for each field manually. Unless dynamic layouts are used, this might leave the design unresponsive especially when the columns content changes dynamically. Inline Row Editing, or Modal Dialog would be better alternatives.
