Word wrap multiline in Cardlist (repsonsive)

Possible solution is to add checkbox column in the tab cardlist Word wrap ..

I see now that here is a similar idea https://community.thinkwisesoftware.com/ideas/option-to-have-responsive-field-height-in-sf-2789 but there is not mentioned this should also be available for Card list. I’ll add reply there. This idea can be marked as duplicate

Yes, good idea! 

@Mark Jongeling what is the status on this?  It's really starting to get annoying in the Universal that text is getting cut off instead of wrapped. And there are simple solutions at hand:

@Freddy Currently the status of this is that it is an open idea on the community with 3 votes. It does have a backlog item that needs to be research for UI/UX. You claim this is very simple and it might very well be, but there are still decisions to be made. If the text word wraps, does automatically mean the cards have to become responsive? Thus potentially all the cards in a cardlist have a different height? Or should the text still be clipped, but then horizontally when a max-height has been reached?

Hi @Sebastiaan Meijerink of course I know nothing is simple in this case… the point is I don't understand this in an ‘IDEA’..  it's a bug in my humble opinion..  your not showing what is in the database and that cannot be correct. That things have implications for sure and that should be functionally addressed. So if you would ask me everything should be word-wrapped so you can always see what is there. If this for example creates an unreadable screen then you have to look at it functionally.  Or if you don't want to word-wrap it should have an action button to open it up (like in the form).

@Freddy Lets say everything is word wrapped. That will mean that grid rows, cardlist items, menu items will all vary in height. So that is definitely not on the table.

But if you feel that this is actually a bug, than you should report it as a bug. Right now here on this page it is a community idea.

Ok. Understood but we were talking about cardlist items… 

Can you say when the backlog item is on the planning? Or on its position on the backlog?

Because going on the answers you don't see it as a bug (multi-line that doesn't show multi-line on a cardlist)..  I wonder if it's worth the effort to report it as a bug. 

We need this :) 

You can do this with a trick. Make the field HTML and break your text or sentence in parts and add the separator <BR> on the end of each line. Set the field height to 3 or 4 in the cardlist. Our older users put their smartphones on a huge font (otherwise they can’t read the small texts) In this example I created a function to do the wordwrap on each 30 positions but not in the middle of the words. (Ask chatgpt) 
The only disadvantage (Still) is that the field is not resizing automatically. But now the can at least read the whole question.
