Hey there,
we customized our jira to add the last comment of a ticket to a seperate custom field. From there on we´re able to create a list of jira task with the last comment as viewable coloum. Now we would like to go one step ahead and limit the comment to a specified number of characters. If a user likes to read the complete comment, he has to access the task.
We would like to have something like this: "field overflow ellipsis"
Does anyone have some suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Dirk
