How to Define Column Width in Percentage in Ignition Table?

Hello fellow Ignition users,

I am currently working on a project using Ignition, and I'm trying to figure out how to define the column width in percentage for a table in Ignition Perspective. I have specific requirements where certain columns need to occupy a certain percentage of the screen width.

I've explored the available options in the Property Editor and noticed that the "width" property of the columns only accepts pixel values, not percentages. I've also tried using the "fr" (Fractional Unit) CSS unit, but it doesn't seem to work either.

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could guide me on how to achieve this in Ignition. Is there a built-in feature or a workaround that allows setting the column width in percentage?

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Unckeck the strictWidth property, and the value you put in width will be a proportion of the available space (basically, it becomes basis)
