The Row Height Property on the table does not work when columns have embedded views set

The only work around I have found is to use `props.cells.style.height` to alter the the height but this now means the embedded view does not scale the embedded view correctly.

Trying to use `row.height:60`

Is there a way of getting to working correctly ?

I'm just checking the silly stuff first: Did you try  
`rows.height : auto`?

This is the desired outcome I am trying to achieve ,this table is created using the flow historian.

As you can see, the sparkline is scaled to fit within the row height.

For embedded views, there're usually props to use the embedded View's width and height. Turning this off will mean it will scale. Find this setting and it should fix it

Seems the column config with embedded views enabled doesn't support scaling.

There are no **useDefaultViewWidth** and **useDefaultViewHeight** properties for a Table columns that are rendering a View. However, the Embedded View component has these properties.

I know this is an old thread, but I ran into this issue today. I couldn't figure out why my row heights were so large when using a column `view`.

This thread also had some ideas: [[FEATURE-16567] Perspective Table Row Height - Ignition Early Access - Inductive Automation Forum](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/feature-16567-perspective-table-row-height/33466/15)

But they either didn't work or felt very hacky.

What I had missed is that the table row height seems to respect the `basis` value of the container used for the column view. Easy to miss the `basis` when you just change the default viewport size when developing the `view`.
