Hello Everyone,
I have created an Entity and I am displaying its data in a Table in UiPath Apps. One of the fields contains very long text, and the content does not wrap inside the table cell, which makes it difficult to read. I want to know if there is any way to enable text wrapping for a specific cell , or alternatively, to view the complete text on hover. If wrapping inside the table is not supported, I would like to understand what other recommended approaches are available to display long text while still keeping the table layout. A screenshot is attached for reference.
Thank You in advance..
Using a fixed width might help
Alternately html container can be used to display table..
You can use a Custom List as well, where you can design the layout and allow text to wrap naturally in labels or text areas.

Hi @Dheerendra_vishwakarma
try to limit the displayed text length and provide a separate view option, such as opening a dialog, side panel, or form with a multiline Text Area to show the full content, or using a Details page that displays the selected row’s complete data while keeping the table compact.
Happy Automation

hi, @Dheerendra_vishwakarma
You can handle this by switching from a Table to a Custom list layout while still keeping a grid-style view
- First, drag a Container Inside this container, add a Custom List control and set its Data source to your Entity (the same source you are currently binding to the table).
Configure the list layout
- Open the Custom List Template and remove any default controls or headers you do not need, so you only keep Labels (or any minimal structure you want to resemble a row).
- For each column you want to show, add a Label and, in the Text property of the label, use an expression like:
ThisRow.yourEntityColumn
Do this for all required columns, arranging them horizontally or vertically so it still looks like a table row
Once configured, click Preview to verify that the long text now wraps correctly in the Custom List items and that the overall layout still behaves like a table for the end users
If you stuck somewhere in the Custom List refer to this below link:

Hi @Dheerendra_vishwakarma ,
You can try this,
UiPath Apps tables don’t support text wrapping or hover tooltips. The recommended solution is to use a Custom List with labels bound to entity fields, which allows long text to wrap naturally while still maintaining a table-like layout, or show the full text in a dialog or side panel when a row is selected
If you need any further help related to this feel free to ask and if this solution works, please mark it as the Accepted Solution
