1) with the Master Detail addon, you can have master WPDataTable and then use/setup a Detail "only" view of the same table.
-- you can not edit this "detail view"?
2) How does #1 above differ from the standard functionality of WP Data Tables if you do NOT have the Master Detail Addon?
-- it appears the Addon does not provide any extra functionality... Except only to display the details on it own page, if you want to.
3) When you add a detail page (create template page), those only appear to work with Gutenberg pages? (not working with oxygenbuilder.com)
-- it is nice you have freedom of the layout, but REALLY need to be able to edit those fields. That is a standard part of Master Detail :(
Overall, it seems the only added functionality of the Master Detail Addon is to add your own template page to display your own details (but can't do anything else except for display/re-arrange the fields).
1. Yes, Master-Detail can display data only of a single table, and it can't be edited.
2. If you have a table with 50 columns, it wouldn't be very user-friendly to display the whole table like that. So, you can hide 40 columns, and have them be displayed in the popup modal, or on a page. Similar to what we've shown in our documentation.
3. You should be able to use any builder. You simply need to copy the placeholders. It can be a blank page even.
Hi,
Is the following correct?

Do I have this wrong?
