Hey @Sshasnk here's a bit of a workaround to this as - as far as I'm aware - it's not easily achievable through standard configuration.

 

First step is simple - we go to the Table tool > Default Table Settings... Borders and set the following:

However, just leaving it at that won't give us the bottom border i.e. separating the header from the data. To achieve this, we create a row rule which applies a top border to the first row of data. Here we enter the HTML of a black top border like so:

Upon running the workflow, we end up with the following result (table size/line fills etc are off as I haven't played around with any of that):

Hope this helps!

Hi @Sshasnk  for the general table settings on the table tool choose the  default table settings option and set the thcikness for the table border

What you could do is isolate the headers and then customize the look of the header row before unioning it back together. Workflow incoming.....

In the Basic Table tool under default table settings perform the following steps:

Borders tab - change Row Borders to None

Table tab - change Border Width to a size of your choice

 

In Edit Row Rule create a new rule and have it like the screenshot below, noting the highlighted sections:
