limit length of fields in result view?

[mrisse]

Hi,

some fields in my table can contain a lot of text (varchar(4000)). Is it possible to limit the number of shown characters per field in the overview/result view? so that I only see the complete content when I am in the detail or edit view of a single entry?

Best,
Marc

You could create a new field on the table, set permissions to this field so it only appear on results view, then add to it a custom formatting function that will show only the N first characters of the other field.
