New table style row height

Greetings. Building a document template and I've got my tables defined how I want them, except for one thing - row height. When I try to modify the table style, row height is greyed out. If I create a table from that style (which is set as the default table style), I can modify the row size in the table properties, but it doesn't seem to affect the actual table. I've looked at the obvious settings around margins and stuff, and nothing really seems to matter.

 

Here is an example. The top is from my style, and the bottom is just a table I created that matches my desired style. I need the top table to match the bottom style. As you can see, the only thing that's "off" is the row height.

What am I missing?

Take a look at the paragraph formatting.  Is it defined with space after it or multiple line spacing
Hope this helps,

The paragraph style shows 0pt spacing before and after, and single line spacing.

Table styles don't allow you to specify a row height; it simply isn't supported. What you can do is reduce cell margins.
