# Table Not Initializing in Editor

 * The table is a sub-field inside of an ACF Group Field, which is all inside of
   a custom block. When I open the post editor, the table does not show up. It shows
   up after I click “Update” on the post, or after I add another of the same custom
   block. It seems like it needs something to trigger the table to initialize the
   saved data; it’s not displayed on page load.
 * I tried deactivating all of the other plugins on the site but that didn’t seem
   to fix it. Any idea what might be causing this and how to fix it?

 * Just wondering if there is any anticipated date for an update. We’re trying to
   launch custom tables ASAP but can’t do so until this glitch is sorted. Let me
   know if it would be helpful to send a screen recording or any addition info!

 * Hi, sorry, I could not replicate the issue.
 * I added a ACF fieldgroup for a custom Gutenberg block, added a group field with
   a table-field as subfield. The Gutenberg editor in WordPress 5.9.1 worked normaly
   and the table preview appears on loading the editor page and after changing the
   table.
 * Can you please give me more details…
    – Browser and Version – WordPress Version–
   A screenshot of the issue in the editor – A screenshot of the ACF group settings
   page – Is there any javascript error in the console?
 * Thanks!
    Johann

 * Thank you so much!
 * I just sent an email with all of the info and screen recordings, along with screenshots,
   to show the table is missing when I open the post for editing, but then shows
   up when I add another block. Please let me know if there’s anything else you 
   need!
