Use case or problem I have a few properties I would like to display in bases that can quickly cause the base to scroll horizontally. It would be far better to read these cells if they didn’t occupy a single line. Proposed solution I would like to be able to right click a column header and select an…

This was implemented. Select view ->Configure View → Row Height.

+1 would like warp my text without scrolling horizontally. Also, when input a long text (for example: a url), the Row Height does not warp it, the text still occupy a single line

Word wrapping already works within the height of row (which can be configured to 4 different levels) If you select a cell, it expands even more.

Ok I see a little bug with word wrap in some cases.

I’d like to extend this request to card view: [Screenshot 2025-07-26 at 15.35.31] I wish there was an option for properties to wrap over multiple lines. Ideally, within a limited number of lines that I have set—I wouldn’t want obscenely long values to take up more than 4-5 lines.

Another vote and use case for word wrap in Card view: quotation database. [image]

You are gonna need to open another feature request for that.

Please check that these links in properties are not wrapped with Row Height setted. [PixPin_2025-08-24_23_33_34] [PixPin_2025-08-24_23_37_52] The fourth term is link generated by Formulas: link() function. Thank you!

Bases: Word wrap in cards / Multiple lines Feature requests

Use case or problem Similar to the Bases: Word wrap in tables request, there is also sometimes a need to word wrap property values in Card view. For example in a quotation database, the quotation gets cut off: [image] Or in a movie database (peeragetalkers’s example mentioned near the end of the other request thread), the movie title might be cut off. Proposed solution Allow to set the height of a property in card view similarly to table view. Or alternatively allow word wrap to the end of …
