SharePoint Online collapse multiple line text field in list view
I have a list with several Multiple Line of Text fields and i need to collapse them in list view to have a clean look of the list. I have tried several codes i found floating around the web and nothin...
I have it on classic view. Is that the problem? I just hate the modern view...but if i need to switch it i will!
The modern experience will show more than one line of text, but it will limit it to about 4 lines or so and then cut it off if it exceeds their default limit.
If you turn on Versioning on the list/library, you can edit the column to "Append changes to existing text". Instead of showing the multi lines of text, this will show "View entries". You can click this to see all the text, however it will open a new page and not expand to show the text in the list view.
Can anyone advise if there's a way using the "modern experience" to cause that all lines of all multi-line fields get displayed? Thanks!
