Whenever a table is loaded for the first time is see text field widths compressed like this:
If I reload the page it formats more naturally like this:
It would be excellent to have some control over table widths by choosing either percentages like other modules or pixel width. But at the very least I’d like to see them consistently load like the 2nd example.
Would also be great to have the option to wrap text!
bumping having more control of column widths in tables.
Can’t we amend the column width of the grid view?
Are you guys also experiencing a bug where columns are extremely wide when you login at first?
Dear team Noloco,
great work (as always) working on allowing the users to adjust the column width. However the expected behaviour differs from the actual behaviour. At least in our case, let me explain.
When opening a table with 2 columns for the first time, each one takes up 50% of the space:
However, if you look at the content of the fields, this layout doesn’t make much sense. A few users already reported this new layout to us as if our tool was Broken. We’ve also had cases where the first column was taking 100% of the space.
Anyway, the expected result in our case is that the first column takes only as much space as needed.
We developed our homepage https://www.fouronefour.io/ in Webflow. Here you have the element horizontal flex box. See here:
I understand Noloco doesn’t want to go the full advanced settings way as Webflow but giving some flexibility would make sense.
and the child:
Basically what I would recommend is:
Align numbers, currency etc. to the right
Align text to the left, allow some sort of wrapping for long text
Progress rings should be centred
If the columns of all columns < 100% of the table width:
shrink to content of all columns expect the last (right).
Make the right column fill up the table
Else
shrink to content of all columns
I hope this helps.
