Let's hope this gets done asap, i hate depending on Word for this.
I could use this feature several times a week.

I need this

Where do I have to sign? Please guys add this feature!
Thanks

I just spent an hour trying to figure out how to split my table with no success, of course. Who would have thought it not necessary to add such a basic function/option?

OMG been searching on how to do this for over a year now and finally came across this page. PLEASE ADD THIS SIMPLE, YET EXPECTED FEATURE!!! It's made my life hell without it....

I want to add my voice to the need to introduce a feature to break a cell when placing a table from Word, etc. This will enable the table to flow in pages when one cell has too much text.

DITTO!!! I use this feature ALL time in Word!

I'm developing a 500 page medical text with large tables of Medications. Locking tables inline then having to split them over 3 pages gives me the sense that im not using InDesign properly. It turns out (reading this page) that auto splitting tables over pages isn't actually a feature.

Word doesn't come close to InDesign functionality (the sooner the rest of the office working public realise that the better). Whack another feather in Adobe's hat by adding this function coding boffins. When you've finished that, we still need hoverboards

Adding my vote to include this feature in upcoming 2019 release.

Absolutely necessary feature: Split table rows between text frame columns and threaded text frames. See especially this thread at Adobe inDesign Forums:

how prevent row from breaking into the next page.

FWIW: If the developers ever decide to implement footnotes with tables, breaking a row would come handy as well. Imagine a table with a row you can see from the first post of the linked thread plus footnotes where the footnote text should be on the same page AND you have a lot of footnotes and a lot of footnote texts you could get into a situation where you create permanent overflow of the story!

One could prevent this hypothetic situation by allowing to split a row between text columns and text frames.

Im sure they are doing a fix on this as we speak................. hello..........anyone......... ARE YOU LISTENING TO US............... im about ready to cancel my subscription to Indesign because I can do this in Word and its a whole LOT CHEAPER than Indesign, and 50% of my job is doing tables!!! anyone??? HELP!!!..................bueller? Bueller? Bueller.?

PLEASE!!!!!!! WE BEG YOU... make this a feature!!! its so cumbersome to do it the cut and paste way... Tables are the only part where MS WORD has you beat... please fix THIS!!!!

Total pain. Needs to happen!

I can get my tables to break in a cell in MS Word - the worst word processor app ever made - but I cannot do this in InDesign. Really? It's bad enough there is no good chart/graph functionality in anything Adobe, but this feature should have been fixed at InDesign v.2.

I agree, I opened my first version of Indesign 2.0 on my old computer and tables have NOT changes at all in 19 years!!! PLEASE!!! WE USE TABLES!!!!! MAKE THEM EASIER TO USE!!!!! WE ARE BEGGING YOU!!!

Auto split table cells

Table cells must be divisible when passing to the other page. Word has this feature.

This thread is asking for the same functionality, I believe, so that would bring the votes up to 30!

There are actually a few ideas about this in the system but they are all worded differently. I for one would word this "Allow table rows to break across frames". Assuming I have understood the intent of this idea, of course. Perhaps they could all be consolidated?
