Pick a table for a product, drop that pick, or exclude or include the table for it.

- Action key: `product_table.assign`

### `product_table_create` [#product_table_create]

Add a table to show on product pages.

table is the whole table in the shape product_table_get answers: name, placements, label, intro, guide_text, guide_image, columns [{id, ...}], rows [{id, cells}], select_variant, unit_switch, is_active, translations and targets. Read an existing table first and copy its shape; the store refuses an invalid one with the field that is wrong.
