Custom Column Widths in Tables
Currently the columns in tables are all the same width, but there are use cases where it would make sense for one column to be wider than another.
For example, in our budget we have 5 columns - Expense, Request, Cash Match, In-Kind Match, and Calculation/Description. By my calculation if you have 5 columns only 33 characters are visible at one time. However, in our use case, 3 of the fields would not contain more than 7 characters (plus the characters for the column headings). Being able to resize those columns would free more real estate for fields where users would want to input more characters and have them be visible.
While it is possible to scroll through the entire text field (up to 250 characters), it is not user friendly.

I'll add that no matter the width, the all text within a cell should wrap so that it's visible.
