Auto Adjust Width for RG Cells

Hi Bubblers, I know there’s a paid plugin that does this, but is there free and native solutioins that help auto adjust the width of a repeating group cell so that it fits the content/text inside it?

Can you elaborate and/or point to an example of what you’re trying to achieve? And what’s the desired behavior on different width devices?

Just set a “min width of column” on the repeating group (make it really low), and it’ll automatically adjust for longer cells as well :slight_smile:

Hi @sudsy , thank you for your reply! Here’s an image showing what I want to achieve:


I have set up a repeating group with text element in cells. I want the text element to fit width to content and does not wrap the text, and I also want the RG cell to fit width to content inside the cell.

Right now I can only achieve this by playing with the min width of RG cell setting (min width of column is set to the width of the longest text element):

If I set the min width of column to a really low value as @aleemansari97 suggested, say 1 px, the whole thing would collapse like this:

p.s. the text in each cell is already set to “fit width to content”.

Do you know if there’s a workaround for this? Thanks.

Is there something I might have missed or done incorrectly?

Set the RG’s Scroll direction to Wrapped horizontally (on the Appearance tab of the properties editor).

Yep do this, and then for the group that’s in each cell, fit width to content and each cell will be resized to the width of the content.
