Displaying long text fields in TABLE chart

Is there a possibility to have Qliksense table chart to display the full content of long character/text fields . I do have some fields with several lines of text and the table chart does not show full content ( hovering over it with the mouse will show the full content) . But is there some 'hidden' button somewhere where I could tell to always show full content of the field even when it is very long ( 1.000 characters or more) ?

Hi @HWallays, under the appearance --> presentation --> check the wrap text in cells and increase the column width of the field.

Workaround: in May 2023, a property was introduced with chart options as below, by default it takes it to 1, and if we adjust this (Example with 22) it works as expected.

There's no way to make it via the settings of the chart. Howerver, there's a workaround.

You can use, Multi KPI object to add/change CSS. You can find an example how to add it here

The CSS that you will need to add will be something like that:

.qv-st .qv-st-value .qv-st-value-overflow {
max-height:100em;
}

Hope it helps

This worked well in my case. 
The lengthy text is not showing fully in the straight table cell. When i changed the row height to 10 lines, all the text is showing.  Thanks @Anil_Babu_Samineni  for mentioning this option. Also, reducing the content size will help us showing all the text but reducing the size won't look good. 

So the good option in displaying the lengthy text is Row height (in lines) in straight table.
