Let Table Frame symbology make use of symbol property connections

Say I want to make a table frame a bit more special, something like changing row backgrounds based on what category that row belongs to, or maybe even changing font color for specific rows based on a field called "Important". Well, I could be able to do that by having it choose colors from a string field with hex values in the same manner as symbol property connections for layer symbology works.

Is such a thing possible? Instead of the current setup of background 1 and background 2, there could be a checkbox that disables that property and turns on the more dynamic approach.

Otherwise, I have to create rectangles and individually color them after placing them below the table or create them in some other manner of editing outside of ArcPro.

YES, I have the same issue. Although, I'd be happy if there were an option to add more than background 1 & 2. I have a map that has table information that corresponds to features with unique symbology. This would be helpful.

I love this idea! To add more cartographic flare to my maps I have been doing this manually.. and the hours can really add up creating the fine details!

I would really like to drive my table frames' colors based on a HEX field, as I am able to do with the symbology. Currently the workaround is to manually set the color of each table frame's backgrounds and borders individually.

is there way to manipulated the color or font of the text of a row in the table frame based on conditional formatting?

This would be helpful to minimize layout items. I have spent time making legend item patches the same size and spacing as the rows in a table and placing the legend behind the table with the rows set to transparent. It would be nice to be able to set the rows background to fill by the layer symbology.
