How do I edit board properties in table view?

In table view every board property is a column, and every cell is editable in place. You need edit access on the board to change values, and manage access to change the columns themselves.

Edit one value

1. Click the cell. It becomes the active cell.
2. Press Enter, or click again, to open its editor.
3. Pick or type the value. The editors are the same ones the file drawer uses:
   • Status: pick from the property's options.
   • Multi tag: pick one or several, depending on how the property is set up.
   • Person: search board members by name or email.
   • Date: pick from the calendar.
   • Checkbox: click to toggle.
   • Text: type, up to 600 characters.
4. Press Esc to close the editor, or Tab to close it and move to the next column.

Move around with the keyboard

• Arrow keys move the active cell.
• Enter opens the editor on the active cell.
• Esc closes the editor without leaving the cell.
• Tab moves one column to the right.

Select a range

Click a cell, then Shift and click another to select the rectangle between them. Dragging across cells does the same. A range is what Cmd+C, Cmd+V, and drag-fill act on.

To select whole rows, use the gutter on the left: hover a row and click its checkbox, then Cmd to add rows or Shift to extend.

Fill a column downward

1. Select the cell or the block you want to repeat.
2. Grab the small handle at the bottom-right corner of the selection.
3. Drag down over the rows you want to fill.

The source block repeats cyclically, the same way a spreadsheet fills. Drag-fill goes downward only.

Reorder rows

Drag a row from the left gutter to a new position. If you selected several rows first, they move together as one block.

Add, rename, or delete a column

With manage access on the board:

• Click a column header to open the property editor, where you can rename the property, edit its options, or delete it.
• Click the + at the end of the header row to add a new property.

Deleting a property removes its values from every file on the board, so it asks for confirmation first.

Below manage access the header is read-only, and the rest of the table works as normal.

Values other people change

Edits sync live. When a teammate changes a value, moves a card in kanban, or edits the same board from another browser, your table updates without a refresh.
