Apologies for delayed response. We are sticking to the in-built capabilities of the grid and implemented a custom pagination bar for the editable grid that Appian provides.

Thanks and Mathieu Drouin for your time.

I would encourage you to use the built in grids as there is a lot of built in integration with Records that you will lose if you go with a custom grid. Faster to develop, easier to maintain and I think you will have even have better user experience.

If there is something the grids don't do, probably best to do an enhancement request.

Can you share a bit of the background of this requirement? In my experience people propose designs in Appian which lean on designs they know and are used to. But this does not mean that this is the best way to do it.

If still want to go this way, and are aware that once you delivered an "Excel"-like UI inside Appian, everybody wants that, I suggest to follow the plugin development process outlined here:
