Hi,

Im trying to create a button in a table column in canvas, but I don't know how to do it. This is what i have tried:

```
filters
| essql query=" **QUERY**"
| mapColumn "Link" fn={string "<a href=\"http://my.url/" {getcell Nombre} "\">Go</a>"}
| table perPage=50
| render

```

But HTML tags are escaped. I also tried with "markdown" `| mapColumn "Link" fn={ markdown "asd" }` but the column appears as Null

I wonder how can I add HTML to the table if it is possible

Regards.

Hi @UselesssCat

At this time there is not a way to add markup to a table cell like you are trying to do. We've had several requests for a feature like this, so it is on our radar of something to get done in the future.
