How can we add a column to the wireframe data table? There is no "+" available.
+1 Adding column to wireframe data table. Feature not usable in current state.
Adding columns in the wireframe data table would be a great feature and will save a lot of time on prototyping!
Hey @Frédéric Lebel Thanks so much for the note. We are working on optimizing the data table so will share this with the team!
Itâs not a data table component though. Itâs a data table wireframe component. I still donât quite understand why using the regular table â which is an actual data table component, not a wireframe component â isnât an option here?
If the regular table is enough to build a prototype / wireframe, any reason why Miro creates a redundant component âdata tableâ in the wireframe session?
+1 for adding columns, this feature is not usable without it.
AND donât forget to include deleting columns!
It is an option, but that data table component is not designed for wireframes. Whereas the wireframe components are easier to work with, require less manipulation.Â
Lets just agree to disagreeÂ
Adding request for adding columns to data table
Another request to add column, unusable in current form

Totally agreed with @John Knowles . Itâs pretty useless.
I donât use Data Table just for visual presentation. I need to label the columns.Â
Same things goes to âtext inputâ and âbuttonâ, they are meant for mocking visually, but without able to label them, it is useless.

Just curious, why is the feature ânot usableâ without the ability to add and delete columns? I mean, it is for wireframing, after all. If itâs so important to have the exact amount of columns and rows in a simple wireframe, why not use the regular table?Â
It seems one persons nice to have is another persons should have in this case.
Â
Suppose it depends on your design system, processes etc. Our wireframes need to contain all the functional parts of the feature/page/screen.
This data table component could save a good amount of time, if columns could be added to it, rows can be added after all.
If you applied the âno columns on tablesâ mentality to all the UI elements in MIRO it wouldnât be as great as it is!
Hopefully MIRO will take this data table  MVP and make an MLP ;-)
Â
+1 for adding and removing columns. It is significantly more difficult to get the point across to stakeholders if you constantly need to explain all their requested columns will be present in the final feature.Â

The usability issue arises from the fact that it deviates from the principles of the Miro Wireframe library.
While elements like buttons and tabs in the library can be customized in terms of solidity, style, and functionality (e.g., solid/line/text/enabled/disabled for buttons and normal/selected/disabled for tabs), the Data Table does not seem to align with this flexibility.
It appears less usable to me, although it may suit some users, particularly those with specific requirements like having precisely three columns and an icon in the header
Tables often have more than 3 columns, a regular table doesnât have the pre-formatting that this feature provides.
@John Knowles Yeah, but again â itâs for wireframing. Wireframing is just a way to display the functional elements of an interface. I can see that being able to add columns is a nice-to-have, but I donât quite understand why the lack thereof would render the entire wireframe component useless?Â
Ok, so its not useless if your interface has a functional need for a 3 column table.
Iâd like to revive this thread.Â

My use case is designing a relational database. Each table in this relational database needs to show column names (fields), and a few example rows.Â
The âTableâ component is not a replacement for the wireframe âdata tableâ because I cannot easily draw arrows showing the relationships between fields of different tables. (If there is, let me know please)Â
Meanwhile, the âwireframe data tableâ has this capability. Unfortunately it does not allow me to add columns (fields) easily, which is extremely important for my use case.Â
I wouldnât say itâs âuselessâ since itâs still just a simple visualization that should come with additional information. Itâs a wireframe, not a blueprint. But I understand that itâs a nice-to-have.
Itâs not a data table component though. Itâs a data table wireframe component. I still donât quite understand why using the regular table â which is an actual data table component, not a wireframe component â isnât an option here?
Haha, you're right. I agree to disagree!
A is table bi dimensional, x and y. Having an option to add row and not columns is a bit odd to me.
@janet smith I still don't understand why it would be âuselessâ, that's a very harsh statement. Personally, I'd say it's highly ineffective to replace proper communication between people with detailed wireframes/mockups, but let's just agree to disagree! It's always interesting to discuss these things though.
I did a workaround by duplicating the datatable element but would love to see it as a feature. +1
