Column width

Not applicable

Not sure if this is the right place to raise this question...

How do you adjust the width of a column when looking at all tickets, I can modify the column by using 'Personalize List Columns' and add/remove etc

Would like to be able to drag the width of the column, like in excel etc

Is this possible or is it a limitation of the Toolset ?

Thanks

This is still a requirement and likely an easy feature to add in. Any news on making this available?

Adding to the chorus.

Workspace now offers a way to do variable size columns. I believe it came out in Orlando or Paris.

It looks like this has not been implemented for List Views in the platform UI.  In the Idea Portal, I found multiple Ideas from 3-4 years ago, but they were all closed out as "Unlikely to implement" due to the age of the Idea. 

 

I still get multiple requests from internal staff for this functionality so I opened a new Idea for this today. If anyone wants to view or vote on it, here's the link -

I know it is not permanent, but some might found it useful.
With a little help of ChatGPT I hijacked list's ellipsis icon (kebab menu) so that when dragged, it resizes the column's width.

If interested, create a bookmarklet for this script, activate it and then drag the ellipsis icon.

Disclaimer: There is no persistence (yet?), changes are temporary, any manipulation within list (sort and any action leading to reload) reverts list to its defaults.

New version added, which onLoad tries to find an apply existing configuration from and each resize stores to localStorage.
