How to retrieve data in var list_table?

Retrieve data from a list_table with a {data:model} source in ChronoForms 7.

Overview

The issue occurs because the traditional CF6 syntax for accessing row data does not work when the data source is {data:model}.
In CF7, simply use {var:id} to access row values. For conditional logic, use the Run conditions feature on a Reference view element placed in the list table column, eliminating the need for custom PHP code.

it depends on your data source, since your source is {data:model} then it works the way you noted!

Let me ask another question for this situation

If I would like to make some conditional php logic for showing table_list results
How to get in-row field value?

I mean <?php $this->data['field_name']; ?>, but for list_table row id, for example.

Ha!

Figured out that CF7 has Run conditions.

I just put some reference views in new page of the form and put Reference view element into List table column area, set Run conditions and it works.
No coding, like before.

CF7 is 100% AWESOME!
