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 also would prefer to be able to wrap text in the column headers. Is there a place we can upvote to request this feature? Telling us to just hide the column does not solve the problem the OP submitted.

    100% agree to all of the above post besides Microsoft's lame post that did not answer yet provide complete opposite from what we want. Like others have said to get others on board to use this we need these basic functions to present a nice data set. Having a clear header title but if you only have short numbers etc. you do not need a wide column. Wrap the text!

    Yes, please! Wrapping column header text would be super useful. Would appreciate the functionality, too!

    Yes, please! Wrapping column header text would be super useful. I've been getting around it by splitting columns into views, but text wrapping would be so much better.

    I can't believe we have to abandon this as a solution because it can't word wrap column headers....
