Starting with Simple Grids & Tables 1.7 you can manage each Simple Grid column's settings directly in the ExpressionEngine control panel when creating your Simple Grid field. A dropdown menu is available where you can add edit the settings with YAML.
Why YAML? Considering the settings for each field type is a fairly basic key > value pair, YAML makes it very straight forward to manage the settings without adding a complex user interface.
Supported settings
Below is a list of field types and their default options that are supported by Simple Grid. Other available options values are noted next to the option after the # code comment. If you only need to set a single option on a field, you do not have to include all options. For example, if you just need to change the text direction of a Text field, just add field_text_direction: 'rtl' to your settings field.
