JSON Column width

[specoop1585]

Hello SharePoint Forum,

Hoping you can help with a question Regarding JSON formatting. I’ve got a list with two columns: a single field and a multi-text line that I’m hoping to better format.

The issue: In my list (and consequently my page), for new users that haven’t visited the site, the column width isn’t automatically moving it over as far as it could (like by a lot…)

I’ve played around with the JSON and have tried width, but it doesn’t seem to actually move the width over. I have to physically drag it over, and then it seems to work – but I don’t want to make each user do that.

Anybody been successful doing getting the width of the column to be larger? I’m not a coder, so less is more for a solution. Thanks,

You can adjust the width of a column by dragging it and saving the view.

Appreciate the response -- @Matti Paukkonen - that works for me on my machine (and in that one broswer), but it's not working in a different browser or for my other users. 

Best,

Spencer

This also isn't working. 

{
"$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/column-formatting.schema.json",
"elmType": "div",
"txtContent": "@currentField",
"style": {
"width": "100%",
"font-size": "1.2em"
}
}

I got it working with different browsers on my machine (Edge Chromium/Chrome/Firefox). I'll try this one out with my colleague tomorrow.

This works also with my colleague.

In list I just save view with the same name after changing column width.

List view web part also shows it correctly.

I have tried both and it is not working in my tenant.
Is there any sort of class we can try with JSON?

[#7]

Can you please attempt this again where you drag, save the view and have a different user/browser/session test to see that your changes are shown for everyone?

I cannot get this to work and would like to know if there's another way to do it.

@specoop1585 Did you ever find out what happenned with this? I am getting the same problem. However, mine works with Edge and does not do the same on Chrome.
