Error messages shown: "No data available in table" in "Topics" search pane
Description of problem:
Hello! I am trying to figure out an odd problem with my search pane. I am getting a "No Data available in table" when clearly there is data in the column. To recreate the problem, filter "Agency" by "Tennessee Valley Authority" and you will see the topics search pane with the error.

Hi @redhat2020 ,

Because the topics option has data in an array format you need to add some rendering for SearchPanes to work with it properly, this is our example for this.

I've also made an edit to your example that you can see here.

Hope this helps,
Sandy

Thank you very much! However, in your updated example, the columns values are empty in the table. Is it related to my data not having an id and a name in the array? (as shown in the ajax from the example).

update - think i figured it out. I removed ".name" and it appears to be working now.

Yes looks right to me - apologies.
