Column Width in Sharepoint List
I have a modern site that has a column for state which is abbreviated i.e. IL, MT, FL but I cannot get the column width to decrease. I am using Sharepoint Online. Can anyone help me with decreasing the size of the column? Thank you!
- I have the same issue. did anyone solve this yet?

It's not possible. I've been trying for ages. Vote at the site above to put an end to this.- Has there been any progress since you posted? Seems like an absurd issue to have haha
- Can anyone please assist?
Hi Tammy Bruns,
You can use JSON column formatting. You may want to decrease (rename) the column name width as well (manually). Example below:
Sample JSON code:
{
"$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/column-formatting.schema.json",
"elmType": "div",
"txtContent": "@currentField",
"style": {
"width": "50px"
}
}I hope this helps.

- Hi Norm. I tried using your code on a SharePoint classic column, but it did not increase the width if I chose e.g. 200px
Please note my column is a rich text field:
Column name:
The type of information in this column is:
Multiple lines of text
