How do I wrap text in the Header Row of a list in Microsoft Lists?

I am using MS Lists as a checklist for onboarding documentation for our company. However, I have a LOT of items in the header row, and therefore I can't see all the text. How do I wrap the text or make the header row taller so that I can see all my fields clearly? See screenshot below. The header row I'm referring to is the row in white.

    I have the same question. I have the same need as OP, I have columns that I do not want to hide, I want the column title to wrap.

    Same here, I do not want super wide columns, I would rather have two lines of text in the header to fit in a more narrow column

    This should definately be a feature, otherwise people will just revert back to using offline copies of excel document if a basic functionality like wrap text cannot bedone on lists.

    Same need.

    This should be basic stuff.

    This is needed in order to convince other co-workers to use MS Lists.

    Truncated column descriptions in 2024....

    Also, cannot shorten the first column (title) even though it is one digit.... come on.
