I’m attempting to have several cells in a dash datatable containing checkboxes that the user can select (not selecting the column or row, but selecting the cell, thereby id’ing the row/column). Further I’m interested in a callback to determine which cells are checked. I’ve looked through the markd…

Hi @zachmorris Check this page: https://dash.plotly.com/datatable/interactivity

Yes, I’ve checked that page. As far as that shows, you can add a checkbox or radio for the row or column, but I want to put the checkbox in the cell. Is it possible?

I’m not sure if it is possible, what are you trying to implement?

From what I can tell, I think you’re correct in that it’s not possible. I want a table detailing some events, and the user checks a box or some boxes to trigger a callback based on the cell(s) that they’ve selected.

Thanks @AnnMarieW . I think I’ll try and work a solution with dash bootstrap components. Hopefully the issue is taken up and a feature is eventually added (which I’d think might be easy if markdown supported a markdown checkbox)

@AnnMarieW always coming up with a sneaky workaround :crazy_face:

Hey @zachmorris and @AnnMarieW I just find another way to solve it. Add an additional column before the column you want to select. Fill that column with an emoji to represent what you want to show, in this case I chose this :white_large_square: then when the user click the box, the active_cell w…

This solution is just to select one option, if you want to do a multi option you need to use a dataframe in the callback to append and store all the selected options.
