Multiline column wrap

[ysapolovych]

I have columns with long text values, and they hinder table navigation. Although it is possible to truncate, a much preferable way would be to wrap them, but I found no way of doing so. Is it impossible at the moment (or I'm just missing something)? If not, is such functionality planned? This would be extremely useful.

So the way around this is to use the "Max Width" property as shown here:

long_strings.mov

Here's a reference on how to set this property up before loading D-Tale so you don't have to click anything on the UI: #472 (comment)

Let me know if this gets you where you need to go

Thank you, but this is not exactly what I want. I hoped for some option to wrap a column like this, without having to hover to see the full contents

@ysapolovych so unfortunately this is best I can do where I can add a setting to allow for test-wrapping but you'll have to tweak the "Max Height" to that of the longest string to see everything. I can't do rows each with a different height like excel. The other thing is that it looks like trying to do the custom ellipses "..." on the end of overflowing strings doesn't work on multiline strings. So you wont really have a good sense for what is too long to fit in the cell 😢
