Collapse and expand grid rules with multiline fields in Universal

When you have (html) text fields included in a grid, you will normally only see part of the (html) text field.

 

It is very convenient for an end user when it is possible to switch between expanded and collapsed lines in the grid at the push of a button according to their own needs.

Collapsed then gives the existing situation with a compact line per record in the grid.

Unfolded shows the lines with the space needed per line to fully display the text field (or text fields if there are more) in a grid.

In this case, a fixed line height does not need to be modelled.

Simply folding and unfolding according to the end user's own needs is sufficient.

To add some background here: Acto uses a custom solution for this in the Windows GUI at the moment, using a Task to switch between the Grid rows as single line or based on wrapped text height. As a result, each Grid row could have it's own height, based on the content of a multi-line, wrapped column in the grid.

The AG Grid component we use could potentially support this feature request, see Auto Row Height in below link: JavaScript Grid: Row Height | AG Grid (ag-grid.com). Given Acto's current solution, expected implementation by Thinkwise would have to support setting the autoHeight property from true to false as end user using a Grid option. It is pretty similar to the Wrap Text button behavior in Excel:

 

@Community: Since I currently know of only one customer who needed this, I am curious to know if other customers are interested in this feature and what use cases you would solve with it?
