Question

Unable to wrap Summary and References text fields in Table View

In Table View, narrow columns will cut off summaries and reference fields. Can they wrap so the full cell contents is viewable?

Hi ​@RJ_14168288 

There is a limit to how much can be shown in a summary, so if you are wanting more information displayed, I’d recommend using the Description field.

When you find yourself in this situation, it usually indicates the need to take a step back and understand why this is needed and if there is another way that better solve the need.

    Users use the Summary Field with the range of 18 to 48 Characters. They are finding it difficult when it is not appearing fully.

    ​@RJ_14168288 I’d suggest posting an enhancement request in the Codebeamer ideas channel. I don’t work for PTC so I can only provide suggestions within the constraints of what the tool can currently do.
