What is the max length of characters that a catalog item's description can display in the portal view

[Ja1]

Hi All,

Does anyone know what the max character length of the short description of a catalog item is when in the Portal? I don't mean the short description in the catalog item itself as that is set to 200, but just when looking at the catalog item in the portal view. (See below attached attached).

Seems to be different lengths on this view no matter what the short description has been set to. Is this something that's configured in a widget or the portal?

Hi Himanshu,

This is not in relation to the form view but how the catalog item is presented in the portal.

I can't seem to find a definitive answer as to how the short description character length is set when looking at the catalog item tile in the Portal view.

For service portal you have to set the limit in category page

Hi Himanshu,

Do you have any article that shows how to do this. I'm not sure what you mean by setting it in the Category page.

you have to clone the widget "SC Category Page" and in html side you will see <div class="overflow-100"> , change it to <div class="overflow-200">

and then try. 

if my answer helped you, kindly mark it as correct and helpful.

Thanks for this explanation. I'm not that familiar with HTML or CSS so not sure what the overflow setting is really doing. Is it setting the character limit or the pixel limit.
