Table field "Truncate Text"

Help Center
1

I have successfully used the code below (from Robert Hill) for limiting a field height in a table (adds a scroll bar in the field).

#view_181 td.field_9.cell-edit > * {
overflow: auto;
overflow-wrap: break-word;
width: inherit;
max-height: 100px;

I have a requirement to achieve the same result, but with a Text Formula field . The code doesn’t seem to work for this.
Does anyone know how I would alter the code to make it work for a text formula field? I have tried using the “Inspect” feature to work it out, but its beyond my level of expertise …

Hello Craig,

Just use #view_181 td.field_9 instead of #view_181 td.field_9.cell-edit

Thanks Sunny,

Yes I tried that initially after inspecting the element, but it does not seem to work.

view_181 td.field_826 > * {

overflow: auto;

overflow-wrap:

break-word;

width: inherit;

max-height: 100px;

}

I also see there is not the option to “Shorten text after a set character limit” in Knack with a text formula field, so can’t use that option.

Hello Craig,

Send me the page link. Look like you forgot to add # in front of CSS.

If it’s in a table and same css work for other cells then this also needs to work for formula field.

replay there.

You need to set width directly in knack builder first then change width in css i provided.

Or try to fix width and height in builder directly
