App Designer Table setting column name to variable name

Hello,

I am using app designer and have a few uitables. However I am struggling to get the column names to automatically match the variable names as stored in my tables.

I know I can set them manually, but I would like them to be set automatically as the tables might still chnge in the future.

I found the correct documentation but am not sure how to change the property

"When you specify the Data property of a Table UI component as a table array, MATLAB sets the format of the Table UI component automatically based on the values in the table array:

• By default, the column names displayed in the app match the VariableNames property of the table array"

This is how I set my data:

app.Table1.Data=DataTable; %Data table is a saved table in my database

I'm having the same problem. I think it must be a bug, as the documentation clearly says the UITable should inherit the names from the table used to define it.

I was trying to find an answer to this too. In the absence of any other replies.

app.Table1.ColumnName = DataTable.Properties.VariableNames ;

seems to work, but I am not sure if this qualifies as "automatic".

Thank you! :)

Yes, that works. But unfortunately it updates then the UItable two times.

For larger tables not a perfect solution.

It works. Thanks man. For someone else: remember that DataTable is the name of your table.
