Column Formatting elmType of div not fully filling field

Question

I have formatting on a column which uses a background color for a status. I am using the elmType of div to complete this. I have another field for comments that is multi line and allows for 6 lines of text. When there are two lines of text in the comments field the the div for the status field fully fills it. When a third line of text is entered the div stops and no longer fills the status field vertically.

It does not seem to matter if I add the formatting to the status column before or after the comments have been added. I have tried using the fill style and it does not work with my current JSON. I am able to get it to work if I adjust the min-height style but then all my row will be the height that height.

This is due to the parent element having the min-height property set.

The content within is smaller than the minimum height or content in the same row is larger, thus the minimum height is applied.

I have attempted setting height to inherit and 100% to no avail. Even things like align-items: stretch don't work.

It seems we need access to the fields parent class in order to adjust the min-height of the row.

To bypass this you could set the height to a fixed value.
