list view truncates values - how to prevent this?

[haldroid]

I have config items with names that are 40 characters & more but the names are truncated with trailing dots, for example myparm-applncontent_mnapp2309p.prod.otai... This is NOT a problem of column width. There is plenty of room in the list view to display the full value, but the viewer is truncating anyway. The full field value is displayed when hovering, but that is no good when browsing long lists. How can I turn off the truncation and show the full field value?

You can use the no_truncate attribute in the dictionary entry of your field.

That was too obvious!

It worked for you? because no_truncate = true works for string fields.

But for reference fields? I have a situation where the name of CI is truncated in incident form's list view.

CI field is referencing the cmdb_ci table. Please help me out..

Hi Nandhini,

Did you tried adding Dictionary attribute for that field as 'no_truncate=false' ??
