Please add a fit-to-width option for columns. Right now I have to manually shrink each column for short-data columns. Thank you!

+1 for this.

Or even the ability to resize please as it is hard to use on ipad when the column I’m trying to read from is cut off too short to be helpful.

Yes, please fix this and also allow columns to be re-sized in mobile app. I can’t read text fields in the mobile app. Thanks

Agree but also being able to wrap the longer text in the column header would be AWESOME even if only 2 lines.

I’d like this feature on the iPad app. Shopping multiple apps (to pay ~$40/mo to) and deciding based on ability to view on iPads too.


+1 please Perhaps there are enough requests for this now please?!

Such basic functionality that has been requested for OVER 4.5 years now. Come on AirTable!

Found this thread as I was about to start going through and widening 250 columns manually because I thought surely there is a better way to do this… :joy:


Agreed! I’d also love an option to distribute column widths evenly.



+1 here as well. It would be incredibly useful, especially if sharing views


Still Nothing… +1 !!!
