Hello, I'm using the ncolumntable() function on both task screens

Hello,

I'm using the ncolumntable() function on both task screens and a process dashboard, and we have issues where text isn't wrapping in cases where there is a very long string of uninterrupted text. I haven't been able to get this to work myself, but I wanted to see if there were any suggestions to get text like this to wrap within ncolumntables

Thanks,
Dylan....

Browsers do break lines only on whitespace. But there is a special form of white space "&shy" which tells the browser where it may break lines if necessary. Have a look here

A function that inserts this char every 3-5 chars may help you.

This function puts every 5 chars a "shy" into a string.

=insert(ri!text, "", 5*makerange(tointeger(floor(len(ri!text)/5))))
