Is there a way to have this table plugin (https://www.sanity.io/plugins/sanity-table ) have table headers? Or are we supposed to on our end just assume the first row is the table headers?

I don’t believe you can set up headers with that bad boy.

😭 dang yeah I’ve been looking for a table that allows that and allows images in the cells

Trying to recreate this

If there was something that did that, plus rich text inside of the cells it would be :chefs-kiss:. It could probably end up being an attribute nightmare, though.
For what you shared, you probably just have to assume that the first row contains the headers

Yeah I’m also wondering if it would be better to just have like an array of voters and then just render accordingly?

That’s what I tend to go with. I don’t use the table plugin, instead I create an array of objects then handle rendering it as a table on my FE if I need to. Some editors can find that confusing, though, and need the table visual when they’re in the PTE.

But I have the preview tab in my sanity studio so they should be able to just go to that and see it if they need to

Nice. You’re all set then 😎

So I ended up figuring it all out
