Wrap Text Header Fields

The new Wrap Text feature is a great improvement! However, it would be even more useful if we could also apply it to the header fields. This would allow us to view more columns on the screen while still being able to easily read the column headers. Currently, expanding the headers just enough to see their content makes large tables even bigger, resulting in more scrolling to access the necessary data.

@Angelica Ramirez Interesting! Currently, the field values can be wrapped, and the header field text becomes visible when you hover. 👇🏼

Does this help, or would you still prefer the header text to wrap to display the full text? Please let me know!

Angelica Ramirez

Thank you for your feedback. We are fully aware of and appreciate the field wrap text option. However, as mentioned in the original post, our concern lies with the header fields. While I understand that hovering over the headers displays the full title, this solution is not ideal when trying to view the table as a whole. Constantly needing to hover over each header to read the title disrupts the overall workflow.
If the entire header could be displayed in wrapped text without the need to manually expand the column, similar to how other platforms handle it, that would be an ideal solution. This enhancement would greatly improve usability and streamline the workflow.

That makes sense, @Angelica Ramirez! I will forward your feedback to our product team. 👍🏽

Totally agree, this would be a great enhancement for headers in all of the tools (dashboards, reports, folders, etc.

Absolutely! I have various custom fields for Date and the ability to wrap the text in the header would make the table view much cleaner. Up Vote +1

Thanks for the +1 upvote and for explaining your use case, @Nikki Richardson! We’ll post an update if there are any developments regarding this suggestion in the coming months.

It would be extremely beneficial if this functionality were enabled for the header row of custom fields. Since the header text doesn’t wrap, users can’t see the full field name unless they hover over it. This creates frustration for viewers, particularly when accessing the table via a public link or for users who may be less familiar with the platform.

Thank you, @Judy Feldmeier for taking the time to share this. Your feedback about header visibility, especially for users accessing via a public link, is helpful 👍

I work with Angelica and this is still a major issue - when can we expect resolution on the ask that Header row have wrap text feature. Doesn't seem like that big an ask given it is already enabled on non header rows.
