Hello Everyone,

I want to display the whole content of the “Long text” field (about 100 lines) in the Gallery/kanban view. Now it shows just the top 4-5 lines and then the next field content. To read the whole content, one has to click on it to expand.

Is there a way by which the whole content can be displayed in the Gallery/Kanban view without clicking over it?

Thanks a lot!

Hey there! Can I ask - What’s the use case here?

Keen to know what problem you’re having here to see if there might be a workaround for you


Hi! I have the same issue:

 

The field “Respuesta” is too long to display, I would like to be able to read it without clicking. It should be displayed more like this:

 


Hmm, what layout are you using where you’re facing this issue? 

Could look into using a Tampermonkey script to help with that if that functionality isn’t currently available.  I once tried to get this working for a Gallery view but that didn’t work because the text wasn’t even fully loaded on the page though


This is the layout I’m using for the interface:

Then in the “Onboarding” field this is the config I’m using.

I don’t know Tampermonkey scripts, anyway this shouldn’t be that difficult… 

I’ll keep trying, and playing a little bit with different layouts, but I wanted to have all employees, their data and all feedbacks together and being able to read them without clicking anything. 

It’s already great that I can have everything in one place but I use this data a lot and having to click everytime will take valuable time from us.

 

Thanks!!


Hmm, so each of the ‘Onboarding’ records contains text, and you want to see that text in the Employee’s layout view, is that right?  If so, may I know what issues you faced using a lookup field?

I’m thinking that if you create a lookup field in ‘Employees’ to display the values from ‘Respestas de Onboarding’ that would contain all the text you want, and then in your Interface you could just display that lookup field?


‘Respuestas de Onboarding’ it’s just a field with all the answers stringed togheter, but it’s just a workaround, I’d like to be able to see each ‘Onboarding’ separately with all the fields and specifically with the whole text. For example:

NAME
Software Engineer

01/07/2025

Week 1

Feedback given by X

Blah blah blah

 

08/07/2025

Week 2

Feedback given by Z

blah blah blah


Ah so sorry, I made a mistake in my previous reply!

What if you create a lookup field in ‘Employees’ to display the values from ‘Respuesta’?  Would that display the text you want?

To get that formatting (with the date, week number etc), you could create a formula field in ‘Onboarding’ to display that, and then display that formula field via the lookup?


I already did, but thats not how I wanted to do it.

It’s not as straightforward as having the data displayed directly, also you’re not able to filter it or hide/show that easily. But it’s the solution that I came up with for the moment. Also I’m pretty new here so I might not be taking everything into account yet. Will report back if I have news :)
