Have you gotten this to work with alarm status table at all? I’d start the whole view over from a working flex container if i have to.

I don’t have any active alarms to test it with. But it doesn’t shrink at all, just shows a “no alarms” message:

Seems strange that it would shrink when there _are_ alarms…

I’ve never gotten it to change size based on alarms. Its either always full size or a thin line depending on flex container shrink/grow settings. So, never reactive
