We have a leaderboard and it has entries for athletes in it.
Some of the entries are standalone i.e. a single athlete entered our competition as a Solo entrant, however some are Pairs where two different people form up to create a team.
At present we add people to our leaderboard prior to a competition and then at the competition create a live leaderboard by updating their scores after every heat.
This works easily for Solo entries but for Pairs it means we have to update two rows with the exact same information. Is there any way we could link rows together to form a team so that updating either entry would update both rows scores ?
Sorry to disappoint you, but we currently do not have any way to create a 'link' or something similar between two rows - so that they would be updated/edited at the same time. In our editing logic right now, it is only possible to edit each row and each column/cell individually one by one. This is an interesting use-case though, so you can add a development suggestion for the future.
to see if someone may be already suggested this feature. If you can't see it, feel free to add your suggestion there, and as more people vote, the feature will move higher on the priority list.
You can certainly follow our changeLog page if you'd like ( it is also available in the plugin dashboard), where we state any changes/new features/bug fixes during updates;
and our newsletter, so you're informed about new features, bug fixes, freebies, etc.
Hi David, Sorry, I just thought of a possible workaround idea, which can allow you to edit multiple rows - if they need to have the same information. This is only possible for our manual tables - they have the excel-like Editor feature. It can be used to edit multiple rows at the same time. So you can select, for example, as you said, two rows, and copy + paste the entire row like that. Please check more here.
I hope that could be a workaround, until we develop additional options.
