Modern Lists doesnt display all text on modern pages
- Yeap, I have seen this also and to me is a bug in the modern list visualization
Found a bug that seems to fix it. Change column to singel line of text, add formating
André Nesheim Thank you for the suggestion, your method worked well for me.
However, I did run in to issues when entries in the column exceed 255 characters. Since it is a multi line column, it allows user to enter more than 255 characters. However, when the word document is opening in the app, there is a yellow banner at the top that reads: REQUIRED PROPERTIES - to save to the server, correct the invalid or missing required properties.
There are no required properties in my library, and I found the invalid field was the one I had changed to single line of text and then back to multi line text. It seems Microsoft still thinks the character limit is 255, because when I reduced the filed to under 255, the error went away and I could save the document.
I found another solution on the page SharePoint Online Modern Experience Multi-Line Field Display - Microsoft Tech Community It uses JSON to add a scroll bar to the multi line of text field. I am going ot try that out.
André NesheimI just tried applying the formatting to a Multiline text field. It works. So no need to change column types.
How do you change a mutliline field to a single line of text field??
- That's a great suggestion. It worked for me.
Hank de Wit I just tried the same code and it did make all of the text visible, but it is also now showing <div> and <br> tags within the multiline text field. Any ideas why?
{"elmType": "div",
"txtContent": "@currentField",
"style": {
"padding": "4px"}
}I found another solution: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/SharePoint/SharePoint-Online-Modern-Experience-Multi-Line-Field-Display/m-p/145739
However, they both display the HTML tags. I cannot apply 'Plain text' to my column because I need to keep links in the column. Help 🙂 !
