how to fix size of multiple line text field (enhanced rich text)
AnsweredHi!
I want to display an html table in a text field (multiple lines of text, enhanced rich text). But I always have to press the "see more" link, which is annoying to users.
Is there any way to fix the size of the field so that the user doesn't have press "see more"?
Thanks

Hi Andrew Kirby,
you could use a rich text field and just add your text field as expression like this:

Great! That would work!
Follow up question- I want to pull the table from an html table in another list, but when I use "get items" I lose the table format information- all the text within the table is there, but no lines. Does get items lose the formatting on the way?0 -
Actually- have found that I get a beautiful table, until I save..
But then when I save and reopen it always looks like this:
Which is harder to read. What is going on?

Hi Andrew Kirby,
unfortunately I cannot reproduce this. How is your configuration? Can you please send some screenshots of you actions and how you configured the field where you store the table? If I get items using the "Get Items" action and store the HTML Table output in a multi line text field on a new or editform as in the figure below, then the table lines stay there after saving..

Thanks Matthias,
It was a gremlin in how I was making the tables, it seemed that sharepoint was OK displaying it but didn't like it when saved. I eventually changed it and then worked fine.
