[Django]-Django Wagtail TableBlock not displaying correctly

✅

This is a consequence of the fact that you’ve placed the TableBlock inside a StructBlock. The full details of this are quite tricky (and explained in detail in the Wagtail docs), but the short version is that when you access the individual fields of a StructBlock (which happens as part of the built-in rendering of StructBlock when you call {% include_block block %} on it), it only gives you the underlying data of that block (for example, a string for a CharBlock, or the data dictionary you saw for a TableBlock), not the complete block object that knows how to render that data as HTML.

A StructBlock with only one field in it doesn’t really serve a useful purpose, so the more straightforward fix is to use TableBlock directly in your StreamField instead:

table = StreamField(
    [
        ('table_horaire', TableBlock(table_options=new_table_options))
    ],
    null=True,
    blank = True,
)

But if you need the StructBlock there for some other reason, you can access the table field within it as a complete renderable block by going through bound_blocks:

{% for block in page.table %}
    {% if block.block_type == 'table_horaire' %}
        {% include_block block.bound_blocks.table %}
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

You code doesnt seem right and has mistake. Below corrected one:

{% for block in page.table %}
    {% if block.block_type == 'table_horaire' %}
        {% include_block value.bound_blocks.table %}
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

Anyway thank you for you reply.
