Unable to Control Column Width in Markdown Tables in XSOAR

SanDev — Fri, 20 Sep 2024 11:21:31 GMT

I am trying to create a table using Markdown in Cortex XSOAR, but I can't control the width of the columns. I need to make one column wider than the others. However, Markdown in XSOAR seems to automatically adjust the width based on the content, and I can't find a way to set fixed column widths.

What I've Tried:

Standard Markdown table formatting.
Python formatting with ljust() or rjust() to set column sizes.

Same issue here, the width of the columns should be adjustable. e.g.

| <div style="width:290px">property</div> | description | | --------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |

@SanDev @M.Vahe An alternative solution would be to use an html field and create a table there. You have a lot more control using this approach.

I did go that route, but html doesn't have the flexibility markdown has - ordering by column, export to csv, easier to setup, markdown buttons(very op!)
