Formatting Section View with JSON

When the list item is formatted with sections, is there a way to widen just the one column "webex" to allow for the long sequential webex link so it doesn't stretch over the next column "last column"...

    kellyhickman14096 You can try adding one more section in the body JSON and add webex column in the last section. You can keep the displayname of last section to "".

    Example: 

     

    {
  "sections": [
    {
      //give a display name for the section
      "displayname": "Administration",
      "fields": [
        //reference your fields here using their display name
        "Title"
      ]
    },
    {
      //give a display name for the section
      "displayname": "",
      "fields": [
        //reference webex field here using the display name
        "webex"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

      Thank you this worked brilliantly, may I ask a followup question, any idea if there's a way to get rid of the apparent default section line? So it doesn't look like a separate section when moving the "webex" column? I'm guessing no, but thought I'd ask.

        You are right. Currently it is not possible to remove the default section line using SharePoint JSON formatting.
