This is basic, I search but cannot find it on manual. On tables subview parameters, how do I pass the row's data into the row's subview? ---

It is automagically passed as the `value` parameter. (Distinct from column views, where it is passed as the `rowData` parameter.) ---

Thank you. On my subview: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/9/c/9cd1a2f43bb5252a1e026cd2c9c4a3e560d39145.png) ---

When designing the subview you need to enter some placeholder data there. When you run the Preview on the view containing the main table it should show up. ---

> [@Transistor](#): > > On the subview table set > `virtualized : false`. I did. 🙂 I was the one who ask this long time ago.. The subview property should able to know, the height of the view.. I can try with other views and see.. edit: I see that, the subview is using the default size (fix) of the view. ---

You _are_ using a flex view for the subview? ---

Yes. With one component Table. grow set to 1, virtualize set to False. ---

And the subview's `POSITION.basis` prop? Should that be set to `auto`? Oh, I'm tired! ---

I see the culprit.. The subview of table's row, is rendered as "Row Flex" idontknow... just from observation ---

I think there is now way, to make subview (a table), resize automatically. I guess I will dynamically program the default height according to number of rows. ---

even label does not auto adjust subview's height: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/e/ae7241c371507e1dd9b5af901159ce42196d06df.png)
