Entity List - Columns Width

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by bik@inturi

Hi all

On my webpage I am displaying An entitylist with few columns.. So I have created a View on my entity and then used that view when createing the Entity lists.

There is a Column which is a Single line txt EMAIL, majority of the times it works fine but there are a few emails that are long, The column is not truncating, resulting in a vertical scroll bar appearing and the items right of the column disappearing.

IS there a way I can FIX the size of the column, I have tried setting the Column size on the View in the entity, Also tried in advanced configuration setting the size of the columns in Portal entity list But nothing seems to be working

Thanks

Bik

can you add a snapshot?
did you clear cache?

your configuration seems correct, all you need to do is changing the width in the Advanced Settings for the Entity List

I tried here myself and I am getting the same issue
I guess it is a bug, you can open a support ticket with Microsoft

I suppose you can also set it via JavaScript if you want, you might need to loop the rows and set the width

Hi @bik
I have run into the same issue, You can limit the field size of the email field on the CDS form so that you can limit this from happening on the Portal.

Hi @bik ,

This is known behaviour in the table element in general. There is an easy fix that you can do - just add following CSS styles to your web page content (in the Advance tab or via web template):

td { word-break: break-word; }

This will allow to break long words and also overflow words if applicable. You can find more about this CSS property here. See attached screenshots for the result.
