Text Wrap in Drop Down Component

Hi, I am having a dropdown component that has choice labels which are sentences up to 25 words long. Is there any option in Appian to display it in a word-wrapped form? Currently it displays upto 20 words (in one choice label) and adds "..." beyond that. 

Thanks in advance.

Appian does not support automatic line breaks in drop down components as of now. What is your use case?

Alright. Use case is for the user to select a response for a question from predetermined response values (provided by user, which are list of sentences upto 25-words long). Basically, instead of typing it out, they would like to have the options readily available so that one of them can be selected based on the scenario.

I understand. Depending on your UI design, a list of clickable card layouts might be an alternative.
