Skip to main content
prepare_placeholder_references Get the IDs for {{placeholder:ID}}: a tableReferenceId per column, before you write the content that uses them. Every standard placeholder for a table shows the document’s one row of it, so switching that row changes them all; to show several rows of the same table at once (A compared with B, a roster), use prepare_global_references. For a document you just created, pass its documentId.

​
Parameters

​
string
required
The ID of the table whose columns you want to reference.
​
array<string>
required
Array of column IDs to create references for.
​
string
Optional. If the user wants to link to a specific row, pass the row ID here. All placeholders will then show that row’s values.
​
string
The target document ID. Required when no document is open in context (e.g. after creating a new document via create_document). Falls back to the context documentId if omitted.
