I see the new power table has the ability to auto size the row. Is there some where I can have the text wrap if it is too long to fit in a cell and have the row auto size its height?

Open table customizer (right click–\>Customizers–\>Table Customizer or Ctrl-U) and enable wrap text on columns you’d like text to wrap on:

Here’s something interesting…when enabling _wrap text_ the text is now stuck in top vertical align. Know a way around this?

Setting auto row height hides that issue (as long as only one column is ever wrapped):

It may also look okay with all columns set to top align.

For a direct solution, try setting `verticalAlignment` in configureCell scripting (I haven’t tested to verify this works):

Unfortunately I need the row height to be pretty large and can’t rely on auto-row height, but thanks for sharing that. I checked out _verticalAlignment_\_ in configureCell but wasn’t able to make this work. Looks like wrap text overrides whatever is being set. I’m sure there’s another way around this.
