Way to change text alignment in the list view

[jobywalker]

When displaying data in the list view there doesn't seem to be a way to manage the left/center/right alignment of fields -- it is just based on the field type.  This can result in some very odd results when there is a numeric type of field (right aligned) mixed with other fields (left aligned).

Is there a way to control this?  sys_ui_style seems to only impact forms.

Hello JobyWalker,

   You can simply navigate to System UI > Field Styles > New   Create new style for which field you want to change text alignment and enter style in that style table.

  For Ex if I want to change the caller field text alignment on incident table then i have to create new field style .Take table name as incident , field name as Caller ,value as javascript:1=1,and style as text-align:right 

 Try this once and If my answer is helpful then please  mark it as helpful and correct.

Thanks and regards,
Priti Golam

Thanks for the replies. Field Styles (sys_ui_style) is the correct answer but there a a bunch of caveats on this.

• Contrary to the documentation (https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/london-platform-administration/page/administer/navigation-and-ui/...) if you set no "value" then it applies to the form view and in the list view to empty/null values.
• javascript:true or javascript:1==1 will allow you to apply the style to all non-null values in the list view, but not the form view.
