I agree. There has to be a way to save resized columns in a list view. It would not be so bad if you only had to do it once, but having to resize each time you visit the page causes people to look elsewhere for the content.

    Hi all,

    After having seen the possibilities of formatting columns here : https://docs.microsoft.com/fr-ch/sharepoint/dev/declarative-customization/column-formatting

    I wonder if there is a way to use these functionalities to do something, I do not have enough knowledge to find something

    If somebody can paste a bit of json... that could help resizing these columns ...

     

    Thanks

      All,

       

      Just to come back to my previous post ... after some trials and this code :

       

      I found out that only the color tag is working. none of the other are doing anything ...

      Does anybody have a clue why ?

      Just for info, I do not have access to SharePoint designer

      Thanks

        I don't think it will not work as the header of the columns have the set width and column formatting JSON has only control on the specific column not the header.   You can reduce the width but not increase.
