[Feature] Add ability to change table column width using Table/Column settings

[mingfang]

Currently I can change the table column width by drag the column separator.
While this works, it is not ideal for some cases.
One case is when I want to set the column width to a specific size numerically. This is not possible today.
Another case is when trying to resize the last column of the table.
It's currently very tricky to place the pointer to exactly the right spot to enable dragging to change the size.
Many times I end up resizing the whole tables instead.

@mingfang thank you for the feature request!

HI, is this request still open? I am too looking for fixing the column width but in vain. Though I set the width it gets automatically changed with presence or absence of data. DO we not have a fix for setting the column width yet

Hey @pjgittst this is still not prioritized!

Would love to the feature as well. My use case is actually making columns smaller than dragging allows. My users mostly using phones.

This feature would be extremely useful especially for columns that have text wrap enabled. If their initial column width is small, the entire table looks horrible on load.

+1 on the feature request

Another use case is setting some columns to be only as wide as needed to fit the content. We have a few tables where the first column is an icon button to trigger an action, and since we have a lot of content to display it would be great if it wasn't wider to start with.

+1 for this. This would make tables much more cleaner and easier to read while optimizing the real estate on the page.

And related to @floretan's comment there's this feature request for auto sizing the width based on the content #35347

Is there any workarounds for this?

[Nikhil-Nandagopal]

@xximj you can simply drag and resize the column widths in the table. That would be the workaround
