Have extra fields in Row of Datatable.

What package(s) are you using?

• carbon-components
• carbon-components-react

Summary

I am trying to use the datatable component.

What I want to have is to have access to row content that is not being shown to the screen.

For example.

row = [a,b,c,d,e]

header = [a, b, c]

so only a b c show up as cell.

but in selectedRow prop I would like to have access to d or e, which are metadata useful for me but not useful for the user to see.

Is this possible in an easy way?

Our table is only responsible for rendering what it’s given; have you tried to do a lookup with the row ID to get to that metadata info you want?
