BPA report builder - Table mode has no option to add multiple frontend cards

[tfromcube]

Description

Documentation is not fully updated to reflect the new frontend so I could not verify if this is actual inteded behaviour or not.
Since the CIPP rework, BPA reports are experiencing several issues:

• Can not add multiple frontend cards while in Table layout mode - button missing
• Adding frontend cards in Block mode can not be configured properly
• Report does not remember which fields from the API response should be saves
• Reports are not populated with data
• Can not force refresh data anymore
• Layout Mode row height is not adjusted properly

New BPA report - table mode lacks the "Add frontend card" button:

New BPA report - block mode additional frontend cards do not display all options:

New/existing BPA report - entered fields are not remembered after saving the report and reopening.

No Data after creating a new BPA report:

You cant add cards to a table layout, that's why it's a table layout. It's a single table with information. If you want multiple tables, it's a card layout with multiple table cards.

Thanks for the clarification Kelvin.

I explained the issue poorly using wrong terminology - our goal is to get a single table view with multiple columns (data fields). I thought a "frontend card" meant the same as a column. Say we take this already existing best practice report with multiple columns:

if I then edit that report, I can only edit the first column. There used to be a button to add more fields/columns to the same table. Has this changed since the rework - can you no longer add multiple columns per table? Furtheremore the ExtractedFields section was not saved properly.

I agree with this! I'd love to have the option to create a table view with multiple columns again.

Bump to keep the issue alive. I also showcased this bug to John during office hours a couple of weeks ago so maybe this has been resolved in dev already.
