Improve Multi Selection values rendering

[Reply Test Group]

Hi Jira Community,

is it possible to improve the graphic rendering of the values ​​selected by a multi-selection field?

In my example, I have quite long sentences as values and I want to fully see the text of a selected value, instead of having truncated ones:

I tried the checkboxes option too, but the problem is the same.

There is some exploit or work-around?

Thank you,

Fabio

There's no way to change this on Cloud, it simply is not built for long sentences as options.

There are only a couple of options here - raise it with Atlassian as an improvement and wait to see if they do it, or shorten the option names.

What would you recommend for a case like this, considering that I need to have options with long sentences ?

Reducing the length of the sentences is the recommendation generally.

  Options usually should not need to be read at length to understand which is most appropriate, sentences are generally unsuitable for drop-downs.  If you need to explain them all, they're probably not really that useful to the users.  Typically, we see short option names, with a link to documentation (in the field description) which talks through which ones a person should select if they are unsure.
