Here is an example of a finished document with various tables:
The Google Template including placeholders looks like this:
You can see the full Google Docs template here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EeL8Y5uZNfQ3WL6A8UKzbU9KOQkU-snJQGmdKCMgSTE/edit?usp=sharing
Let’s see how we can set this ups:
As you can see in the image above, placeholders have to be defined like so: {{line_items_[number]_[name]}}. The number needs to be unique for that table and can’t be used for another table. It’s easiest to start with 1 and just go up for your other tables. So in our example above, the first one is called {{line_items_1_[name]}}, the second one {{line_items_2_[name]}}, etc. The same name can be used in multiple tables and only needs to be unique within the placeholders in one table (so in our example above, we were able to use _name across different tables).
