Enhancement Details

I am editing an Admin View and I visit the Toolbar tab on my laptop. When I have a button in the "Add Custom Buttons" feature, all the controls for adding more buttons get hidden on the right side because the .table-responsive class has the overflow set to "auto". The table is too wide and gets cut off, so I was having trouble finding the controls to add more buttons.

Which part of the extension will be affected by this enhancement?

Joomla Component(admin_view)

Additional Context

@ConfidantCommunications Please check the Global Configuration in JCB and look for the Subform Layout option.

If you are using Joomla 6 with JCB 6.1.6, which is the latest stable version for Joomla 6, please set the Subform Layout to Repeatable Bootstrap. JCB has moved over to Bootstrap for Joomla 6, and using this layout should ensure that subform fields are rendered and displayed correctly.

After changing this setting, the subforms and their fields should display much better and integrate more cleanly with the Joomla 6 interface.

If you are still using Joomla 5 with JCB 5.1.6, please make sure the Subform Layout is set to Repeatable UIKIT instead. This is the appropriate layout for the Joomla 5 version.

So, in summary:

Joomla 6 / JCB 6.1.6: Use Repeatable Bootstrap
Joomla 5 / JCB 5.1.6: Use Repeatable UIKIT

If you are on Joomla 6, please update this setting to Repeatable Bootstrap and let me know whether that resolves the issue.
