I have a table that shows some values that are comma separated I wanted to make it where some values appeared as green and some appeared as red but be in the same string. I was hoping there was a way to get it to run as html like a markdown, but I couldn’t figure it out and gave up. I still feel like it would be useful to have multicolored text in a string, so I was wondering if anyone had any leads.

Can probably be accomplished in the markdown component. Otherwise would take sometype of Javascript, in order to modify the final compiled markup at runtime.

There is. Create a view with a Markdown component in it, then apply that view to the table column using the `viewPath` property.

The data for the row will automatically be passed in as a parameter named `rowData`.

yeah, that was what I came to the conclusion of too, I was just hoping there was a way that was less tedious
