Default BOM column widths

Is there a way to default the column width of BOM tables in the assembly? I have a BOM that is used to check that relevant metadata has been filled out prior to releasing an assembly but this is only viewed in the assembly and not used on drawings. I've found that the columns default to the same width when I create a new assembly whereas I'd like certain columns to be smaller (Item, Quantity, etc.).
I've tried creating the BOM template through the dots and 'save as template' and using it another assembly but found the columns still defaults to equal widths.
Current default:
Desired default widths:
Cheers, Hannah

I don't think BOM tables can be set to a default width. You can auto size the columns by double clicking but I don't think there is anything like your describing.
I agree. There should be an auto size option to make a BOM as compact as possible with just one click, and that should respect font size as well.
