I'm working on an approval where I need to send all previous requests from the requestor to the approver. I'm resigned to the fact that I can't pull data from a list and get it into a table and then into the body of the approval in a useful format 😞 but I'm wondering if there's any way to improve the formatting of an attached table. A screenshot of how it looks now is below. I've tried various options using the Format table action and gotten nowhere. Even adding borders would be a big improvement. Any advice? Thanks in advance!

@KBeale

A very easy way to add borders to the HTML will be to add a compose action and put in the formula

replace(body('Create_HTML_table'),'<table>','<table border="1">')

On a side it will be great to Have HTML support in the Approval action, Please Upvote the idea https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Automate-Ideas/Approval-Email-HTML-Instead-of-Markdown/idi-p/291703
