Prevent Pro Table Field from Resizing

Good morning GeoNet.

I have this FS table:

And I use the information in it to update a feature class.

My workflow is this:

Update the feature class using the information in the Detail field, and then
Edit the Update Status? field from Pending to Complete. This is the field I use to indicate if the GIS update is complete. I have a definition query which removes any records where Update Status = Complete

To make the update to the feature class, I need to be able to see all the information in the Detail field.

I know I can expand the Detail field by clicking, holding the mouse down and dragging:

But the Detail field width only persists until I change the Update Status field -

and then it reverts to its original width and I can't see all the information in the Detail field:

Any suggestions on how to force the Detail field width to persist would be greatly appreciated.

It looks like someone from an Esri distributor (Marc Graham) had the same, or at least a similar, issue way back in 2016 - see (and vote) this idea: Stop the ArcGIS Pro table view jumping around when I calculate attributes

The current status of the idea is: In Product Plan, so maybe one day...

Thank you. I should have RTFM before posting the question...

Marked as answered. Hopefully it'll be implemented in the near future.

The fix for this will be in ArcGIS Pro 2.4 coming in June/July 2019.
