hi all,
I am desperately trying to find a way to format the view of a rich text multiline SharePoint column so that the list displays all of the text in the column. I have a flow that creates a HTML table and that table is then input into the multi-line column (in essence, the column is updated by re-inserting the HTML table). This works fine, however the column only shows the first few rows before it 'fades out' in the list. I need it to display all text.
I have tried column formatting, which doesn't work (shows the html formatting). I have tried using 'create csv table' in the flow instead but then I can't seem to have the column view look like a table.
I don't need a fancy table, but because the content in the table will vary in length it needs to be in a table format in order to make it readable.
Any thoughts or suggestions ????
Hey @StillLearning
This is really a SharePoint question not Power Automate.
I expect you'll need to create a custom formatter for either the column or view depending on your full requirements, check out the following references:
Column formatting: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/declarative-customization/column-formatting#formatting-multi-value-fields
View formatting: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/declarative-customization/view-formatting
Examples: https://pnp.github.io/sp-dev-list-formatting/
This might be a good starting point: https://thechriskent.com/2019/01/16/applying-column-formats-to-multi-line-text-fields/
