Wrap table column headers

Is there a way (maybe via CSS?) to wrap the text of the table column headers?

Response from Retool Support:

There is no way to do this at the moment unfortunately, there's only the ability to wrap the contents of rows. The table component is rather complex and definitely in need of an update. We have a team working on a table re-work and I'll make sure to pass this feedback along so hopefully, we can get this feature added.

Hi! Any updates on this?

Hi @xoel! I don't have an update yet, but I'll post here when our team ships a fix!

How about that text wrap on the column titles, @Tess? Would love to have that.

Hi @mathfour it's not ready yet, but I'm still tracking this request!

Thanks, @Tess - I shall quit trying to hack it and be patient!

You know - even having the ability to rotate the text 45 degrees might help. It's an idea...

Hey @Tess any potential timeline or expected date for this feature?

@Derek_Cox Sorry, unfortunately I don't have a timeline that I can share yet!
