How to see full text summaries in Base

[Fioretin]

What I’m trying to do

So I’m writing my own story and I want to use Obsidian’s Base plugin to keep track of my chapters, characters, & locations. I made a Base so I can quickly see what’s going in my story at a glance, but found a bit of a problem with my Scene Summary property:

As you can see, even though I’ve set the Table’s row height to Tall, my summaries are cut out. I’m not sure what went wrong here… I’ve set the property of my Scene Summary to Text, so… yeah, I don’t know why it keeps cutting out.

Things I have tried

As a workaround, I’ve used Dataview and got something close to what I want, but I wanted to use Base for this because I can customize the width of the columns + it’s just easier for me to tinker with views in Bases instead of Dataview.

If anyone have any advice, I’ll greatly appreciate it!

If I understand correctly, the “table” view doesn’t allow what you want. The coding experts might be able to work around that.

In the meantime, try the “list” view, which will allow you to display the full value of your “summary” property.

hope this helps

This could potentially be a “theme thing” …

Have you tried to see how it looks using Obsidian’s default theme ?

Oh! Seems like you’re right. When I switched to the default theme, it works like expected. Hmm… I’m currently using the theme Cyber Glow. I guess there’s something in the theme that conflicts with the Base’s table?

I guess there’s something in the theme that conflicts with the Base’s table?

It’s a possibility or it hasn’t been implemented just yet ?
You could try to open a bug report/feature request on the GitHub repo of the theme maybe

Maybe someone out here will be able to help you out with a css snippet fixing the issue

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll let them know about this issue!

In the meantime I’m taking this as a chance to test out some new themes. Thanks again for the help!
