Is there a way to put a button in a table cell. I have a system that has 30 enable/bypass parameters that would be nice to have in a table where each parameter is a row and there are two buttons in each row for enable and disable.

This would also be nice for a motor list where you could scroll through all the motors in a system and have a START/STOP for each row.

No there is not a way to put a button in a table cell. However, if the value is a 0 or a 1 you can turn it into a checkbox. If you right click on the table and go to Customizers \> Table Customizer, you can check the Checkbox setting to turn it into a checkbox. You can also check the editable checkbox so that a user can check or uncheck it in the runtime. That will fire a cellEdited event on the component that you can respond to in scripting.

For anyone wondering about this in the future, it is possible with a _Power Table_: [Power Table custom renderer with JButton](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/power-table-custom-renderer-with-jbutton/11970)

You're replying to a thread that predates perspective, with a solution that concerns perspective.

It's nice that you're sharing solutions with others, and by all means keep doing it, but please don't dig up threads that are 13 years old without making absolutely sure of two things:

- your post is relevant to the thread
- there's not a better place to post it
