Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Many structured data models require at least one grouping.
It can expressed as an abstract parent-child relation defined with two tables.

As a simple example would be the "To-Do" table for multiple projects.
A single "To-Do" table could be created/duplicated for each project
or it could be expressed in as an project-table where each entry
has a relationship to a child-table with a different schema.

Describe the solution you'd like

An option to create a single child table with a fixed relation ship.

The child records should be displayable with expandable rows
and child records should be movable between parent rows (drag&drop).

Aggregation functions (min,max,status etc.) for read only column could be provided.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The current tables app make has little difference to a spreadsheet open in collabora online.
