Description

Describe the feature you would like to see added

Currently TreeTable does not support scrollHeight="flex" as DataTable does.

Is your feature request related to a problem?

When scrollHeight="100%" is used, .p-treetable-scrollable-body max-height is computed dynamically during the render, which causes problems, when you need to change TreeTable height without re-render (e.g. by putting it in a vertical splitter or adding other items in a flex column). DataTables don't have this problem when scrollHeight="flex" is used.

Since the height of the TreeTable is determined by the max-height property, it doesn't fill the available space of the parent container when there are just a few rows in the table and when a horizontal scroll is needed, the scrollbar appears right below the last row instead of the bottom of the parent container.

Research direction

Start with the linked CodeSandbox reproducer and compare TreeTable's scroll behavior with DataTable's existing scrollHeight="flex" support. Trace how .p-treetable-scrollable-body handles height and max-height, then verify that resizing the parent or changing sibling content updates the table height and keeps a horizontal scrollbar at the container bottom.
