Is there a way to shrink last column in a Jira table?

[Craig Kelso]

Hi,
Does anyone know workarounds to shrink the last column in a Jira table without having to install a paid 'add on'?  I notice this question has been asked a few times, I'm curious to know if there have been any workarounds developed.  This seems like a design fault in Jira.  Thanks

Hi @Craig Kelso , Welcome to the community!

I assume you are asking about the table in Confluence as you mention in the question information.

Here's a solution to shrink the last column that works on my side:

1. Resize the table to make it thinner by moving the Resize table option 
   
2. Now the Alignment options of the table should enable the Align left option. Choose the Align left option.
   
3. You are now can transform the last column to the size you want with the Resize table option
   

Hope it helps 🙌

Hi @Liam - DevSamurai , thanks for your response.  Just to clarify, the issue I mentioned above only relates to Jira (not Confluence).  Have you found a workaround for Jira tables to solve this issue?

Thanks

Unfortunately, the table resize function is not yet available in the Jira issue description and comments. I see some people have the same issue and request the feature here:

You can take a look and vote for it
