Adjust header height

Yes, this is a much-needed feature. I have several clients who are in desperate need of this.

I’d like that :slightly_smiling_face:

How can this only have 6 likes? Screen real estate is scarce and scrolling to see columns is a pain. Allow higher header and columns don’t have to be so wide and more columns could fit in the view.

Airtable doesn’t seem to understand the importance of this.

Please be sure to email support@airtable.com about this very important & much-needed feature. They rarely read these forum posts, but they need to hear from everyone about this.

Ok. Here’s what I wrote:

Hi,

I’m quite surprised that AirTable does not have the ability to change the height of grid view headers. So often (most of the time?), one needs a descriptive header that is far wider than the data. It’s a total waste of screen space to make the entire column wide enough for titles.

Spreadsheets understood this decades ago by enabling adjustable height on headers (field names) so the data column widths could be optimized for screen width without sacrificing readability of the headers.

Please prioritize adding the capability to adjust grid view header heights.

Thanks!

Fantastic letter! :slightly_smiling_face: Let’s hope it helps!

Adjusting the header height would be such a visual improvement in some tables!

Certainly, a much needed feature.

Yes please! This is a much needed feature. To be able to see the field name more easily would be a huge improvement.

YES PLEASE!! Without this ability, I find myself exporting to CSV to make a table for my clients to view easily - this means I have clients missing out on the wonderful airtable features!

This would be especially impactful when using the mobile apps.

Would be extremely helpful on desktop and mobile.

I need this for a lot of columns but checkbox columns and date columns would especially benefit. I hope this is resolved soon.

need this too! PLEASE!!

much needed feature. is it in the roadmap already?

I would also like header height to be adjustable.

still not a thing? :frowning:

100% - New to Airtable and overall super impressed, but this limitation surprised me.

surprised… still not there.

Alternatively, it would be useful to rotate the header text so that it takes up less space. Both Excel and Google Sheets allow this.

This would be an incredibly useful feature. Let’s get this done, Airtable!

As I mentioned above, Airtable employees rarely visit us here. They also rarely care about what we have to say.

So to make sure that somebody at Airtable sees your comments, be sure to email your feature requests to support@airtable.com.

Yes, this! Plus, I would like the ability to change font size so I can fit my Table Titles in a desired column width.

Here is what I sent, *fingers crossed*

Hi Support Team,

 It appears I cannot change the height of grid view headers. So often (most of the time?), one needs a descriptive header that is far wider than the data. It’s a total waste of screen space to make the entire column wide enough for titles to show.

Please prioritize adding the capability to adjust grid view header heights as well as the ability to wrap text on the rows. Per the Airtable Community boards, this is a hot topic and much needed capabilities.  

Thank you in advance!

agree with Heidi! i export so that i can make a decent view for clients.
