Hi ampagi,

this is already the default behaviour for our Table cell width.

For example, if you disable "Limit table width" in Display settings,

each cell is just going to expand as much as it needs to show the content of the cell.

I tested this now by making a String One Line Column with a bit of longer text;

and in other Columns I just have some Number, or a short text;

This one that has longer content expands automatically, while the rest of the Columns take up the space they need.

If you wish to experiment more with the cell width,

you can use this selector and try different style properties on it,  to see how it behaves :

.wpDataTablesWrapper table.wpDataTable > tbody > tr > td {
    width: fit-content !important;
}

I hope it helps to get the desired goal.

Let me know how it goes. Thank you.

Hi ampagi ,

Firstly, I would like to sincerely apologize for the delayed response as we have been experiencing an unusually high number of tickets. I am sorry that it has taken longer than usual to respond to your concern and your patience is highly appreciated.

Yes, basically, if you wish to have Word Wrap option, this only appears with "Limit Table Width to Page Width" option;

As we pointed out in this Documentation;

When the “Limit table width” option is enabled,

 the “Word Wrap” block will be displayed. 

Enable this option to wrap long strings into multiple lines and stretch the cells height.

With this, you also get an additional option to set up a custom Width for each of your Columns,

in the Display setting for each Column you can either set a fixed pixel value or a percentage value;

how much space they will take up, as you pointed out.

At the moment, that is the only solution we have,

but if you have any idea what improvement or new option you would like to see,
