Having the ability to have multiple rows as a table header would be helpful in grouping data in a table frame.  Right now I'm needing ot concatenate values in a column to use as a header row for column names.

Do you mean word wrapping a header name?  Or are you talking about "freezing" certain feature rows at the top as you scroll the remainder of the table?

The first one could be really useful for longer field names that have small data widths, like having a text field called "Left Bank Slope" that typically has values with generally no more than four characters: "1:10"

If you mean the latter, I'm not sure I follow the use case.

 

Can you share more information and/or possibly some screenshots & mockups of what you have in mind?  I find that usually makes it easier to get the community to buy in.

Completely agree — multi-row headers would make complex data tables much clearer. It’s tricky having to merge or concatenate values just to simulate grouped headers. This feature would really improve data organization and readability in table layouts.
