Hi all, Is there a way to dynamically assign the height a perspective table. Each rows can have different height since I have text contents with wrap. I don't have any Images, icons, perspective components or embedded view on the table. currently I'm trying to assign the basis property by calculating the number of row eg: `self.position.basis= 100 + (30*numOfRows)` this does not work since the row height if not fixed ---

You might edit your question to explain if you want to modify the table height (all rows same height) or modify each row's height based on the contents. Then you also want to be clear what those contents are: text (with or without wrap), image, icon, Perspecitive component or embedded view. The quality of the answers you receive may depend on the quality of your question. ---

If it's in a flex container, you might try setting the basis to "auto". ---

I have 2 tables (top and bottom) inside a flex container. The basis of each table, I want to set to be dynamic, according to actual table height. Setting basis to auto doesn't work. Am I missing something? ---
