Hello,

I have a complicated TABLE, but I simplified it to the following example:

----
\def\DoTable#1{%
   \bTABLE
     \setupTABLE[width=2cm]
     \setupTABLE[column][#1][align=flushright] % ....................................................... [1]
     \setupTABLE[row][1][align=middle] % Settings for ALL columns in the row 1 should be overwritten ... [2]
     \bTABLEhead
       \bTR
         \bTH a\eTH
         \bTH b\eTH
       \eTR
     \eTABLEhead
     \bTABLEbody
       \bTR
         \bTD a\eTD
         \bTD b\eTD
       \eTR
     \eTABLEbody
   \eTABLE
}

\starttext
   No column specification: \DoTable{}

   With column specification: \DoTable{2}
\stoptext
----

The problem is that row #1 should be mid-aligned in all columns. So I wrote:

----
     \setupTABLE[column][2][align=flushright] % Column #2 has its own alignment...
     \setupTABLE[row][1][align=middle] % ... but overwrite here for the whole row #1 (including column #2)
----

But column #2 keeps the previously assigned alignment.

The situation doesn't change even if I swap [1] and [2] (for the case "the earlier setting, the higher priority").

Moreover, if the column number if not specified (\DoTable{}), the row setting overwrites setting for ALL columns; so only if the column is specified precisely, its setting is kept.

So how to overwrite row #1 setting globally?

And how setting priorities are evaluated? I guessed the later specification, the higher weight (which would allow overwriting)...

Note that in the example it would be possible to specify settings for each row/column, but it not useful way in the case of more/very complicated tables.

TIA.

Best regards,

Lukas
