Override output format for a Text within Tableview

[Markisio]

Hi There

I want to truncate a text in tableview for a textarea field, so I thought I can use Override output format configuration for that by doing this: truncWithExpand(10) or trunc(10) but its not working, any idea why? is there other option?

I tried to put this in Override output format too: [entry.summary.truncWithExpand(10)] but didn't work either, please help

thanks

ok it worked if I put in the field name like this: summary.truncWithExpand(10) also output type is BLOCK

I hope that's the right answer :)

Yes, that is the correct approach

You can use virtual functions in "field name" parameter, transforming your field's value as needed
