C# SDK not returning table tag

f-ang 31

I created a custom model using form recognizer studio and tested it using the sample forms here.

Created (dynamic) table tag to only get the 'Details' and 'Total' from the table below.

When tested in form recognizer studio, the table tag's returned fine (also in the json file).

However, the dynamic table is not returned when I try to analyze using C# SDK.
I wrote my codes by referring to the sample here.

Is there any specific code I need to add to be able to return the table tag?
Thanks.

@f-ang I think you are only reading the Documents section of your result. The linked sample in the issue description actually loads the image so I could not refer the sample code you are using for this case.
I believe you should also be able to get the table data of the analyzed document using the Tables property of your AnalyzeResult. The snippet to extract this data should be similar to the sample for the extract layout sample.

for (int i = 0; i < result.Tables.Count; i++) { DocumentTable table = result.Tables[i]; Console.WriteLine($" Table {i} has {table.RowCount} rows and {table.ColumnCount} columns."); foreach (DocumentTableCell cell in table.Cells) { Console.WriteLine($" Cell ({cell.RowIndex}, {cell.ColumnIndex}) has kind '{cell.Kind}' and content: '{cell.Content}'."); } }

If you are able to get the required results with the custom model id with the studio, the same response should be available with the SDK. Could you try the above and check if it works?

Hi, thanks for the response.

Sorry, I used the sample code below.
https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/tree/main/sdk/formrecognizer/Azure.AI.FormRecognizer#analyze-custom-documents

I tried to use the tables property of the AnalyzeResult,
but it returns the whole table (the automatically extracted one and not the dynamic table tag).

Actually I tried to save the whole AnalyzeResult as json,
and the resulting json was slightly different than the json I downloaded from form recognizer studio.
Particularly, the table tag part was returned in the documents section for the one from the studio.

While for the json I got from sdk, not returned.

@f-ang I can confirm that this functionality with the SDK is still a pending item with the SDK team. You will have to use the complete table data and process the required columns on client side.
They are hoping to rollout this feature by the end of this year with the SDK. I hope this helps!!
