**Subject:** Excel Table / Data / Grid — Add action renders all rows merged into 1, sorting has no effect

Plugin: Excel Table / Data / Grid (dataTables), plugin ID 1532997348558x797819075821568000
App: cosecha-morelos (Bubble), version-test environment
Element: Table Boletero

Issue:
Following the documented setup exactly (Page is loaded → Add [Table] action, uniqueID as first “Add columns” entry, each Value using :join with ","), the table renders but all records are merged into a single row instead of being split into separate rows per record.

Setup:

  • Add columns entry 1: Key = uniqueID, Value = Search for Boleteros:each item's unique id:join with ","
  • Add columns entry 2: Key = Nombre, Value = Search for Boleteros:each item's nombre:join with ","
  • Add columns entry 3: Key = Activo, Value = Search for Boleteros:each item's activo:join with ","
  • Initial sort name = Nombre, Sort = Increasing

Console log confirms the Add action fires correctly and passes a well-formed array of 3 column objects, each with a correctly comma-joined value string (e.g. Nombre: "Boletero 3,Boletero 2,Boletero 1"). However, the rendered table shows only 1 row, with all 3 names concatenated into a single cell (e.g. “Boletero 3,Boletero 2,Boletero 1” as one value), rather than 3 separate rows. Footer confirms “Showing 1 to 1 of 1 entries.”

Sorting (via Initial sort name/Sort, and via clicking the column header) has no effect — consistent with the table treating this as a single row.

Already ruled out:

  • No console/JS errors
  • Plugin’s own “Error” exposed state is empty
  • DataTables library (cdn.datatables.net) loads successfully (200)
  • Retyped the , delimiter manually in all 3 fields (fresh keystroke, no hidden characters) — no change
  • Confirmed element is not inside a hidden/collapsed container at time of Add action (this was a separate, now-resolved issue)

Request: Please advise what’s misconfigured, or confirm if this is a known bug in the current version. Happy to share screen-recording/editor access if useful.
