Hello
Version 18.10 of Management Studio. When edit first 200 rows (or all) i see the table columns not fit auto with its content. When doing new query i can see well but i can't edit rows.
Is there any way to autofit columns to its content with when edit table?
Thanks

    No.
    SSMS = "Management Studio" is a tool to manage SQL Server, not to edit data, the existing feature is just a small gimmick, nothing more.

    Hi SergioCascalesPuerto-0477,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A.
    As Olaf said, unfortunately, SSMS doesn't yet support auto-size columns to fit the value width when editing table.
    You can submit your idea to the Microsoft feedback at this link: https://feedback.azure.com/d365community/forum/04fe6ee0-3b25-ec11-b6e6-000d3a4f0da0
    Your feedback is valuable for Microsoft to improve the level of products and service. Appreciate for your understanding.

    Best Regards,
    Amelia

    What is going on here ? Before my laptop was connected to an LG TV at a lower resolution and now I'm at 3840 x 2160 and because of that, SSMS when you EDIT TOP 200 rows, all columns width are too short to see. VERY SHORT in fact. Way more than before. So what's the deal here ?
