Dedicated table type component to allow mutual respect with elements across both rows and columns in regards to layout controls

right now if you want to build a table, you really have to assemble something that either respects rows or columns more-so and then you sacrifice certain features.

For example, if I wanted to build a column that expanded as needed width for the longest element in a column, I need to build a column-centric frame layout… but then if I wanted every single row across a series of columns to expand vertically across all the columns to provide more detailed data on a row of cells, I can’t do that unless I built a row-centric table…

Thanks for the feedback, @JDPoZ!

We’ll pass this onto the team for consideration.

I can’t believe this isn’t requested more. Tables are one of the most common components used in software, and certainly the most difficult to mock up in Figma properly. I’ve used other prototyping apps that have a table component that is not only able to be styled just like you’d style a table in html, but you can hook up real or mock data if you want. This seems like such an obvious need for designers-why do we not have this?
