I'm trying to clone the widgets from idea portals, to build a portal similar to it with custom table.
Unable to find where the table name is getting passed in the script.
I have few queries regarding this
1. Where can I find and change the table name from idea to  custom_idea table. Is there any specific location to declare table like system properties and use it different places using options.tablename or input.tablename. (I have checked Server script, data table and options schema config of widget but unable to find)
2. Which approach is better for building a custom idea portal : cloning and customizing the OOTB widgets or building new widgets from scratch by understanding the whole script.

Hi @Kamatham Sumana ,

In the widget IM Ideas (5c05b400b7b3230011a43d28ee11a94a) on line 8 of the server script there is an expression:
data.ideaTable = options.ideaTable || input.ideaTable;

It is then later used in the Client script to fetch the ideas. So Either you add the ideaTable to the options, or just set a table in the Server script directly.

Regards
