When will we be able to set SharePoint column width in SP Online modern list?

My customer is concerned formatting of a SP list view is better in classic than modern due to SP Online's poor formatting of column widths.  I believe the ability to drag and set a column width (and save it) is coming to modern lists, but when?  TIA.

    I think this issue is not resolved yet.

    I am not able to set column width.

    I tried using below json code but no luck.

     

    {
    "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/column-formatting.schema.json",
    "elmType": "div",
    "txtContent": "@currentField",
    "style": {
    "width": "1000px",
    "min-width": "300px"
    }
    }

    Yes, good question.

     

    I'd also like to know this.
