Size of the columns in the select tool

[ulrich_schumann]

Dear all,

is there any chance to configure/save the size of the column 'Rename' within the Select-Tool? All the time I go to another tool and come back, the column is too small and need to be changed in size manually again and again.

Hi @ulrich_schumann

What version of the Alteryx Designer are you using (Help>>About?) 

In the latest version (11.0.3.25674) the field width's have been updated to reflect the values within them.

Hi Jordan,

I am using 11.03.25674. Is there anything I need to configure?

Although I have long names within the Rename column, the column is too small to show the entire content, so I 'll need to adjust with the mouse. manually.

Hi @ulrich_schumann

It seems the adjustment was just made to the original field names and not the rename field. Feel free to suggest this in the ideas section for our development team to consider. 

As an alternative you can save the whole of the select tool config if you are reusing this config time and time again. 

You could also look at using the dynamic rename to rename field headers dynamically as well.

Thanks, the Dynamic Rename will do for quite a lot of my requirements.
