There was a gem of a community post I seem to remember seeing sometime again about how to put a 'read more' or 'show more' option in long text colums. For example, if a project description is longer than 180 characters it cuts off at 180 and says 'read more.'
Did I dream this or does someone else remember seeing it/know how to do it?

Hi - here is the code below. I'd recommend you save https://wf-pro.com/home/training/text-mode-examples/ into your favorites. @NRYN R - inactive‚ has done a great job putting all these examples together (which is where I got this code from)
Description:
displayname=Description Summary
textmode=true
usewidths=true
valueexpression=IF(LEN({description})>140, CONCAT(SUBSTR({description},0,139),"... (open issue for more)"), {description})
valueformat=HTML
width=250
Last Note:
displayname=Last Note
querysort=lastNote:entryDate
textmode=true
valueexpression=IF(LEN({lastNote}.{noteText})>140, CONCAT(SUBSTR({lastNote}.{noteText},0,139),"...(open for more) -- ", {lastNote}.{owner}.{name}," on ", {lastNote}.{entryDate}), IF(LEN({lastNote}.{noteText})>0, CONCAT({lastNote}.{noteText}," -- ", {lastNote}.{owner}.{name}," on ", {lastNote}.{entryDate})))
valueformat=HTML
Hope that helps :)
