#1

Here’s the demo dropdown becomes scrollable if we add height: ‘auto’, I don’t want it to be scrollable
If removed it works fine.

Are you trying to restrict how many rows you want to view inside the dropdown to 3 and use scroll to keep going?

#3

No, I have three handson table one below the other, if i don’t set height to auto tables are taking extra height and if i remove that propperty then i’m facing this issue.

#4

I want tables not to take extra height + show entire dropdown list like a select tag

#5

There is a good chance I misunderstood what you said. But is this what you are looking for?

Hey, I used your own Fiddle demo, just remove height: auto from every handsontable definition.

const container = document.querySelector('#example1');

There you go, I have just copy pasted the same table. feel free to edit it as your requirements.

#9

I have different column headers for the tables, how do i work around that?

#10

I figured out, when i try to display tables in boostsrap model it takes excess height

#11

@param556 here’s the exact issue i’m facing
https://jsfiddle.net/2eskbphg/15/
open model where tables are taking excess height

Hi @md227ahad

I believe this is also your issue report? https://github.com/handsontable/handsontable/issues/10192

As @param556 mentioned removing height parameter that is set up to auto (or setting it up to fixed value) will solve the problem. Does that solution works for you?
