My automation creates table data, yet Jira’s layout auto-adjusts column sizes, ignoring my minimum width requirements. I’m not an admin, so I can’t use advanced plugins or custom scripts.
I have experienced a similar issue when dealing with Jira’s table layouts. In my case, working with auto-adjusting columns meant that my predefined widths were frequently overlooked. I found that using a combination of careful spacing and relying on preformatted text sometimes helped maintain the structure I needed, though it wasn’t foolproof. It required some trial and error to see what adjustments would persist through Jira’s format changes. Over time, small tweaks to the content itself proved to be the most reliable method to at least simulate a minimum width effect without administrative rights.
I encountered similar challenges when trying to impose specific column widths in Jira tables without administrative access. My approach was to integrate additional non-breaking spaces within cells in order to simulate a minimum width. This method has limitations but it can guide the table layout towards the desired appearance, albeit inconsistently. Besides spacing, revisiting the table structure thoroughly after each automation run helps in refining the adjustments further. Although there’s no perfect workaround without higher privileges, this approach provided a practical compromise in my experience.
