Hi,
Is there a way to highlight a column in a grid? For example, changing the column background color and the font color...
Thank you

In Editable grid you can use a!richTextDisplayField() ,you can set font and text color
= load( local!items: { { item: "Item 1", qty: 1, unitPrice: 10 }, { item: "Item 2", qty: 2, unitPrice: 20 } }, a!gridLayout( label: "Products", instructions: "Update the item name, quantity, or unit price.", headerCells: { a!gridLayoutHeaderCell( label: "Item" ), a!gridLayoutHeaderCell( label: "Qty", align: "RIGHT" ), a!gridLayoutHeaderCell( label: "Unit Price", align: "RIGHT" ), a!gridLayoutHeaderCell( label: "Total", align: "RIGHT" ) }, rows: a!forEach( items: local!items, expression: a!gridRowLayout( contents: { a!textField( value: fv!item.item, readOnly: true() ), a!integerField( value: fv!item.qty, align: "RIGHT", readOnly: true() ), a!floatingPointField( value: fv!item.unitPrice, align: "RIGHT", readOnly: true() ), a!richTextDisplayField( label: "", value: a!richTextItem( text: dollar( tointeger( fv!item.qty ) * todecimal( fv!item.unitPrice ) ), color: "POSITIVE" ), align: "RIGHT" ) } ) ), rowHeader: 1 ) )
Thank you very much for your quick answer but the want to get this effect (see the picture) in a column instead of a row.
What would be the use case for such a feature? Currently, Appian supports clicking on a column header to sort by that column ascending and descending, which is demonstrated by an arrow in the column.
I'm curious what the use case is for highlighting a column as opposed to selecting a row.
Maybe because our users do not realize that the column has been selected just with an arrow in the column header
