Description

Hi @AllenFang I'm a big fan of your react-bootstrap-table(s). My current project is using your original react-bootstrap-table, but i'm trying to migrate to your react-bootstrap-table-next because my customer wants that autoSelectText option. But my current table has 2 header rows, the first spanning multiple columns. And it looks like the new table structure doesn't handle that since datafield is required, and the column definition is missing the row & colspan attributes. Is there any plans to migrate this functionality or do you know of a way to insert an extra header? image

Thank you!

Research direction
Research the discussion in the comments for any proposed solutions. The main challenge is adding rowSpan and colSpan props to column definitions while maintaining the data field requirement. Examine the source code in packages/react bootstrap table next/src/header.js or similar files to understand how headers are rendered. Review the original react bootstrap table for its header implementation as a reference.
