Issue/Introduction

Table widget export does not look like other exports (e.g.: Canvas table widget export), especially around the lookups with Display Mappings.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Add a canvas to a project blueprint.
  2. Access the canvas from a project and add a Table widget based on the Task object.
  3. Add the Name and Status (Status is a lookup that has Display Mappings).
  4. Export the Canvas to PDF.

Expected and Actual Results: The Status values in the export are pill shaped and look like the table in the canvas.

  1. Create a new Data Provider that include the Task object.
  2. Create a new Report in the Report Designer using this provider.
  3. Add a Table widget with two Task columns: Name and Status.
  4. Preview the report and export it to PDF or PPTX.

Expected Results: The Status values in the export are pill shaped and look like the table in the report, similar to how the canvas looks.
Actual Results: The Status look differently in the export (not pill shaped), the look is not like the one in the original widget or the Canvas export.

Resolution

This is working as per the intended design.

Native support for rounded-rectangle text containers within table cells is not currently unavailable when exporting to the PPTX format. Alternative workarounds are avoided as they may introduce significant layout inconsistencies. PDF exports maintain this same behavior for visual alignment.
