[...] Ellipsis for long text

Archived from the Bravo community forum (2021–2026). Some answers may refer to older versions of Bravo.

Hi, Can we do [...] ellipsis on Bravo, and truncate the text as seen on this screenshot when the text received from the API does not fit the allocated text area? Can you set the max character count before the truncate begins etc?

Doesn't look like [solved] yet. Perhaps something can be done on the backend in the mean time... I think Xano may have some string functions. Hoping this could be handled on the front-end

of course it’s not solved because it’s a feature request, not a bug. So it has to be added to the roadmap that you can find in the documentation.

It’s doable in the backend.. you can have a formula that takes the full text of a field, truncate it after x characters and add […].

, hi! Do you use XANO as the back end? If so, can you give some insights on how to accomplish it? Thanks

No airtable but check Xano documentation for formulas using right, left or truncate..
