Table View: Add Option for line break / wrap text & cap length

Feedback & Ideas
1

Hi,

if a cell contains long strings, these expand beyond the cell boundary making it impossible to read the data.

I want to suggest to add options to:

  1. wrap the text inside the cell
  2. cap the string length (for performance reasons) respectively overwrite the recently introduced cap

Hey Mike,

you can currently achieve both of these suggested options if you attach a “String Format Manager” node before the table view node.

Hi @DanielBog,

The row height cannot be defined in percentage not does it accept “auto”. HTML tables suck, don’t they :wink:

yes, you would need to define some arbitrary “row height” value to be able to see more.
We are already experimenting with auto row height calculations, but this will require some more time as this topic is sadly not an easy one.
