Hi,

As far as I can tell, currently you can set row heights to Short/Medium/Tall/Extra Tall. This height setting is applied to every row in the base.

Itโ€™d be nice if there could be a โ€œdynamic heightโ€ option, where each individual row is set to a height depending on its longest content. So a row that has a cell which requires 5 lines to display will have a height of 5 lines, while a row whose longest cell is only 1 word will be still be the โ€œShortโ€ height.

This would be really useful for bases where we have text content that varies greatly in length (for example, user responses to an open-ended survey question). Right now, I have to set the height to โ€œExtra Tallโ€ to fit in most answers, but this wastes a lot of space because there are also lots of short answers which end up taking up way more space than they need.

Adding my vote for dynamic row height. I'd like to transition from Google Sheets to Airtable for my relational data project management needs, but if I can't view all the details at a glance, that's a non-starter. PLEASE ADD dynamic row height!
