how to use one table row selection result to update other tables.

[secondbookwormai]

I have 4 tables, table A, table B, table C, table D. the user can filter any one of 4 tables. For example, the user filter Table B first, by select gender = 'Male", then I would like to update all three other tables with information only males. (gender is a variable in Table B) then the user look at the table C, filtering Table C by country = "USA", then I would like table A, B, D are updated with gender = Male and country = USA. (country is a variable in Table C) then the user go to table D ( table D only have information about gender = MALE and country = USA), filter the table D by Degree = PHD, (degree is a variable in Table D). any idea to do it ? I am trying to use reactivevalues to keep all updated tables in each step.

Hi, the general way to do this would be to use the reactive row selection state from one table, e.g. getReactableState("table", "selected"), and use that to update a different table's selection state using updateReactable(). Here are some doc examples on both:

• Getting row selection state in Shiny
• Updating a table's selected rows in Shiny

I couldn't quite understand your example, so I think it'd help if there was some example code if you had any (even if it doesn't work yet).
