How can I prevent my child work items from being partially covered?

Tahli Lake October 5, 2025

As you can see in this image, my child work items are partially covered - i really want that box to expand to show the item. It's annoying to have to use the scroll bars to see the whole item - how to I adjust this?

Hi @Tahli Lake , I think I have replicated the issue, it just seems to be the default positioning and the box sits a little high, giving you the vertical scroll bar, trimming the Child row.
For me, a fix is to adjust the width of columns, particularly the 'Work' column, I found that this then dropped the vertical scroll bar and fully exposed the child task row.

Not ideal but maybe something that works for now.
HTH, Rich

Hi @Tahli Lake !

Welcome to the Community! Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to auto-adjust that table. If it has many columns, it may appear very small, and the values inside the cells might not be clearly visible. Do you need all the columns? You can remove the not needed them using the Configure columns [ ].

Hi Carlos, thanks for your reply!

It's not actually the columns that are getting cut off, it's the rows.

I really want that scroll bar to be under the information but it covers it.

Hi! Hmm... What browser are you using? Can you try with another one? If you refresh the browser, do you see the same? I'm just trying with Google Chrome and Safari, and I see the table auto adjusting the size and showing all the entries as I keep adding them.
