Hello,  
I was wondering if there is a way to use the tulip table widget in an app, where, once a row has been selected from the table that selection is loaded into a variable?

hello @cole, welcome to the Tulip Community!!

that’s a great question, the simplest way to achieve that is as follows:

1. add a Table Record Placeholder to your App:  

2. link your Interactive Table to the Record Placeholder:  

3. add a Trigger ‘On Row Selected’ to store the data in an App Variable:  

4. use the Variable in your App as you’d like:  

is this what you are looking to achieve?? let us know!!
