Sharepoint list how to wrap text in gallery view

[Dc111222]

Hi. Can anyone tell me how to format text when viewing in gallery mode so that the text wraps within the tile? Guessing this is probably some JSON coding?

[#2]

@Dc111222 You are right. You have to customize the card designer JSON for gallery view & add style to the element where you want to wrap the text.

You can use the styles like word-wrap in JSON. Full list of supported styles is given at: SharePoint JSON Formatting - style 

You can find detailed step about how to customize the card design JSON for gallery view in below post:

Change the width of a card in Gallery view of a List

 I inadvertently posted this question on another board. I'm not a programmer and just getting introduced to JSON via my duties in SharePoint.  I can get the following to work on Kudos field via column formatting.  I can see this in list view. How do I get same word wrap formatting added to gallery tile view JSON?  When I add the following to JSON in gallery view, the text field disappears.  Kudos is single line text field.   I'll be able to adjust the tile height/width but stuck on word wrap. Thank you in advance. 

{"elmType": "div", "style":{ "white-space":"wrap" }, "txtContent": "@Kudos" }

Where does the above json go in gallery view JSON below?

{
"elmType": "div",
"attributes": {
"class": "sp-card-displayColumnContainer"
},
"children": [
{
"elmType": "p",
"attributes": {
"class": "ms-fontColor-neutralSecondary sp-card-label"
},
"txtContent": "[!Kudos.DisplayName]"
},
{
"elmType": "p",
"attributes": {
"title": "[$Kudos]",
"class": "ms-fontColor-neutralPrimary sp-card-content sp-card-highlightedContent"
},
"txtContent": "=if ([$Kudos] == '', '–', [$Kudos])"
}
]
}

@JeffThiel Try using below JSON:

{
  "elmType": "div",
  "attributes": {
    "class": "sp-card-displayColumnContainer"
  },
  "children": [
    {
      "elmType": "p",
      "attributes": {
        "class": "ms-fontColor-neutralSecondary sp-card-label"
      },
      "txtContent": "[!Kudos.DisplayName]"
    },
    {
      "elmType": "p",
      "attributes": {
        "title": "[$Kudos]",
        "class": "ms-fontColor-neutralPrimary sp-card-content sp-card-highlightedContent"
      },
      "txtContent": "=if ([$Kudos] == '', '–', [$Kudos])",
      "style": {
        "white-space": "wrap"
      }
    }
  ]
}

@ganeshsanap Thank you very much for your reply.  Unfortunately, I'm unable to get the text in field to wrap in gallery view.  JSON below directly from gallery view...  I can see word wrap in list field but not when in gallery view.  Afraid i'm missing something simple here.  Even if I increase height/width of card Kudos text field does not wrap.  Please help when you get a moment.  And thank you.

@JeffThiel Have you ever gotten this to work? I'm stuck at the same thing here.

[#7]

No, unfortunately I did not.  

[#8]

@ganeshsanap

Hi,
Would you be so kind and help us out here? Neither for myself, nor for  your input worked as expected.

[#9]

@JeffThiel 

please try removing the below line:

"class": "ms-fontColor-neutralPrimary sp-card-content sp-card-highlightedContent"

[#10]

@uttam27 thanks for the hint - Unfortunately all this does, is to take the bold typeface from the header, where this "class" attribute is set.

As a reference, here's the relevant <div> from my JSON formatting - The incorrect breaks are happening in the "Beschreibung".

{
  "elmType": "div",
  "attributes": {
    "class": "sp-card-displayColumnContainer"
  },
  "children": [
    {
      "elmType": "p",
      "attributes": {
        "class": "ms-fontColor-neutralSecondary sp-card-label"
      },
      "txtContent": "Projekt:"
    },
    {
      "elmType": "p",
      "style": {
        "text-align": "justify",
        "height": "150px",
        "white-space": "break-word"
      },
      "attributes": {
        "title": "[$Beschreibung]",
        "class": "ms-fontColor-neutralPrimary "
      },
      "txtContent": "=if ([$Beschreibung] == '', '–', [$Beschreibung])"
    }
  ]
}

[#11]

@MarianLeinNetlution 

Please try changing the line 19 from:

        "white-space": "break-word"

to:

                  "word-break": "keep-all"

My apologies, I am also not expert in this, but this is something I found that helped me recently.

[#12]

Awesome, that's it!
That worked, finally!

[#13]

Glad to know 

[#14]

Brilliant - this helped me too with something similar 🙂 Many thanks!

[#15]

@uttam27   Can you give me the for dummies?  Where do I insert this JSON?  Thank you!!!

[#16]

Ugh, ok, I got where I needed to get to and it still isn't wrapping in gallery view. Other views, yes.

{
"$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/column-formatting.schema.json",
"elmType": "p",
"style": {
"text-align": "justify",
"height": "150px",
"word-break": "keep-all"
},
"txtContent": "@currentField"
}

[#17]

@TammyVonglis For gallery view, you have to use the View formatting option in list and add your JSON code in gallery/tile view JSON in advanced mode.

Follow this Microsoft official documentation for more information: Gallery layout customization
