jstable vs ToolJet: at a glance
What is jstable?
A clinical table generator paying down years of edge cases in survey-weighted models
jstable turns regression and survival models into the formatted tables medical papers publish, wrapping coxph, glm, geeglm, lmer and their survey-weighted counterparts. The recent line is almost entirely correction work, concentrated in two places: the .display family and the TableSubgroup family. Version 1.3.25 alone fixed quasibinomial support for survey-weighted logistic regression, automatic factor-to-numeric outcome conversion for svyglm, weighted-versus-original sample counts in the n row, data.table input handling, and Overall column labelling.
What is ToolJet?
ToolJet's LTS and beta trains both narrow to component polish and CVE patching
ToolJet runs two parallel release trains — a 3.20 LTS line and a 3.21 beta line — and this window is dominated by small fixes on both. The most substantive tag is v3.20.212-lts, which brings dynamic-height support to several widgets, a dynamic number format for Currency Input, mobile camera flip, and AI build notifications. Everything newer than it is single-issue: a table header wrap fix, a gRPC discovery freeze, a stale row-click value.

A clinical table generator paying down years of edge cases in survey-weighted models
◆ Current state
jstable turns regression and survival models into the formatted tables medical papers publish, wrapping coxph, glm, geeglm, lmer and their survey-weighted counterparts. The recent line is almost entirely correction work, concentrated in two places: the .display family and the TableSubgroup family. Version 1.3.25 alone fixed quasibinomial support for survey-weighted logistic regression, automatic factor-to-numeric outcome conversion for svyglm, weighted-versus-original sample counts in the n row, data.table input handling, and Overall column labelling.
◆ Where it's heading
Each CRAN release bundles several GitHub patch versions, so the notes read as rolled-up fix lists rather than feature announcements. The substantive thread is pcut.univariate, introduced across seven display functions in 1.3.11 to allow multivariable analysis restricted to significant variables, and repaired repeatedly since as it collided with interaction terms, single-variable selections, clustered models and data.table inputs. The survey-weighted path is the other recurring source: counts, labels and family handling that worked for unweighted data kept failing once weights were involved.
◆ Prediction
Expect further patches in the survey-weighted subgroup functions, since 1.3.25 fixed four separate issues there and each recent release has surfaced more in the same area.

ToolJet's LTS and beta trains both narrow to component polish and CVE patching
◆ Current state
ToolJet runs two parallel release trains — a 3.20 LTS line and a 3.21 beta line — and this window is dominated by small fixes on both. The most substantive tag is v3.20.212-lts, which brings dynamic-height support to several widgets, a dynamic number format for Currency Input, mobile camera flip, and AI build notifications. Everything newer than it is single-issue: a table header wrap fix, a gRPC discovery freeze, a stale row-click value.
◆ Where it's heading
The component library is where the work is going — dynamic heights, sizing modes, and overflow handling have appeared across four of the last six releases, which reads as a systematic pass over layout behaviour rather than isolated requests. The AI surface is growing quietly at the edges: build notifications here, an AI credits portal domain change, hardened guards on the AI onboarding API. Cherry-picks in both directions suggest the LTS and beta lines are being kept deliberately close.
◆ Prediction
Expect the dynamic-height and sizing pass to continue across remaining widgets, and the beta line's AI datasource integrations to graduate into the LTS train.
