Tell us what you are trying to do?
I want to create a page where custom posts would be displayed in a table. I tried creating a page and adding view block in the page, but the table was really buggy and couldn`t add blocks to the table. Is there any documentation for this or better way to do this? In archive i couldn`t find a way to display as a table, but when creating a view it showed a table option. I also tried it in a discover-wp test site and it wasn`t as buggy but it still wouldn`t display dynamic data from custom post.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
No
Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

Hello and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

The blocks editor was introduced by WordPress last year. It is still in its infancy and still presents some glitches. If you are comfortable with using HTML, I would suggest creating this view using the legacy editor using HTML and Toolset shortcodes.

The legacy editor can be activated along with the Blocks editor in Toolset->Settings->General(tab)->Editing experience. After activating it, reload the page, and the "Toolset->Views" menu item will appear. Click on it, then click on the "Add new" button at the top o the page. The loop wizard will offer you to create a table layout. Then you can include custom fields inside of the loop using Toolset shortcodes. The interface is pretty self-explanatory, but let me know if you need help with it.

My issue is resolved now. Thank you! With shortcodes everything worked. I think you should remove table layout option from block builder in views altogether, because it`s not really usable from there.
