Are Window users ever going to get big tables?!?

Its very frustrating trying to make a big game and being limited to only 100 rows in a table, especially when Mac users have had access to tables with a vastly greater limit for years now..
Are we going to see an increase in row limit in any of the future updates coming out soon? How big of a current priority is this?
Do any other window users share my pain?

I'm not 100% sure, but i don't think mac users can create a table with more than 100 rows. At least this was the case some time ago.
You can import bigger tables, and you can add rows with the "add/remove row" behavior. Even over 100 rows.
Not sure about windows though... try importing a table with more than 100 rows and see what happens.

There's no restriction on the size of tables imported from csv files, the 100 row limit is just a UI limitation.
@GeorgeGS Did that come about from a performance issue like overflows, or is it a hard limitation due to something like integer rollovers?
The control we're using to display the table can get pretty slow for large amounts of data. Our assumption was nobody is going to manually type out a giant table in Creator but they might create/edit smaller ones. For big tables, importing a csv is your best bet, and I recently optimized it so even for a 1mb file it only takes a couple of seconds.
We've talked about increasing the limit but are still worried about performance. I'll try removing/changing the limit and see how it works, but for the most part I think for big things you'll be better off using an actual spreadsheet for editing even if you could edit the whole thing in Creator.
