History

Updated by David Patrick 428 days ago

I would like to (re) propose a convention for truncation;

If we triggered truncation for any content that ends in (last non-whitespace is) ...
as default behavior, then users can easily control what descriptions (or notes, or other longer text fields) wrap, and what text gets truncated.
While content that ends in "..." should be truncated for any field, in any list, some means of forcing truncation, in custom reports, will be wanted.
