Pretty self-explanatory, I guess -- why is my date column too wide? It's a basic "date" field-type. It's set to display without wrapping, but that should be okay. I did edit the column name to "Date" (with no spaces before or after) but the field is called "Date Input", which is also short.
Question
Date Column Too Wide

+6As I add more data this same report has now made another column too wide, as well. I would contact customer care, but I'm presenting this for review TOMORROW so I was hoping to get answers soon!
Have you tried re-creating the report? Sometimes that fixes issues and it might even give you better insight into what might be causing it if you notice it happens after doing a certain action or changing something in the report.
Other things to try would be to go back to the old column name and see if it changes anything. I would just mess around with the settings and see if anything happens. If the column only became wide after a change then you might be able to figure out what that is and not do it again.
One last thing is try a different browser to view the report and see if anything changes. I know it sounds a little crazy but according to QuickBase the browser decides the column width based on many things.

I am also having the same problem. As soon as I rename the column it makes it too big. In my case it is making it so big that you can't even get to the next column....it goes on for pages and pages about 20-25 (if it were to be printed). I have re-created the report several times and it is fine until I rename the column.
Has any progress been made on this?
