List View Column Width / Field Size / Number of Characters or Lines Displayed

[GeoffreyOptumOp]

40 Characters is Too Few.  Unlimited Characters is Too Many.

Is there a way, for a give List View / Table Column (of type string), to display MORE than 40 characters, but LESS than ALL the characters.  Here is the problem, depicted visually:

The sys_dictionary attribute "No truncate" gives me way too many characters.

The sys_ui_style "width" attribute did change the actual column width, but not the number of characters displayed WITHIN that width.

And This Article makes it sound like I can't do what I want to do.  But I just want to make sure I'm interpreting it correctly.

Tell me it's possible.  Thanks.

Hi Geoffrey,

Give this a try

Find the property labeled Number of characters displayed in list cells (glide.ui.list_chars) and adjust the number as desired (default is 40).

Reference: Increasing the Visible Characters of a Field in a List View (No Truncation)

Mark Correct or Helpful if it helps.

Thank you.  That does work, but I was hoping to not have to change ALL FIELDS in the entire system.  Really I just want to set the column characters for ONE field or ONE table.

Is there a way to configure the system to NEVER show more than one line of text in List Views?

I don't want my List View rows to ever grow vertically.  See how row 2 is 6 lines high?  I never want that.  Thanks.
