Use case

Problem Description Currently, the multi-field freeze feature in Grid View allows freezing up to 3 columns (including the primary field) by dragging the divider. While this is a great improvement, the hard limit of 3 columns is often restrictive for complex business workflows.

In many data-heavy tables (such as ERP records, order management, or financial tracking), users need to keep 4 to 6 key reference fields visible simultaneously (e.g., ID, Customer Name, Month/Date, Status, and Category) while scrolling horizontally through dozens of numerical and detail columns.

Suggested solution

Suggested Solution Remove or increase the 3-column freeze limit: Allow users to freely drag the freeze divider to pin as many columns as needed, similar to other tools like Grist, Airtable, or Excel.

Flexible column pinning: Provide a more intuitive option (such as "Freeze up to this column" in the column dropdown menu) alongside the draggable divider.

Additional context

Why this matters (Impact) Greatly enhances data readability and user experience on wide tables.

Prevents having to constantly scroll back and forth to match records with their identifiers.

Brings NocoDB's grid functionality in line with mature spreadsheet and relational database platforms.
