Limited Description Display

[Ramu]

Dear All,

Using my JQL i can pull the Description column alongwith other columns in a Confluence page/Table .. however, the challenge is that 

If Description section content is more, then it brakes/drag the display of the Confluence Table  which is annoying .. as follows

In short, i need to display the Description content but in a word wrap or trimmed way like:

Im not using the Table Chart here .. it's just the JQL i feed in Confluence Table to display ..

PLEASE help ..

Hello,

This is Daniel from the Table Filter, Charts & Spreadsheets team.

One way of limiting the description field is wrapping the table inside the Table Transformer macro and using the SUBSTRING function. The resulting query will look something like this:

SELECT … SUBSTRING(T1.'Description', 1, N) … FROM T1

with N being the symbol limit you want to have.

Hope that it helps.

Hi Daniel ..

Thanks and it works magic ... :) .. If not much of an ask, just wanted to check on the following ... 

I have manually created a small Table of 4 rows.. which is captured in the Description section of all the JIRA Tkts across.

Is there a way, where i can only display this Table in the  Description column in my Confluence page ?!!! ..

i mean .. i want to only display this Table in the Description (This Table is common across all the JIRA Tkts).

i could have tried other String/TRIM etc .. functions if the Table's position is gonna be the same across the Tkts but, 

Coz of other Description content varying in different sizes across the Tkts, this Table may stay up or down in the Description (depends on the size of the other Text) section.

Please let me know anything that you can think/suggest on this .. will be of help ..

Thanks ...

Hello,

Unfortunately, you can’t select (or isolate) or work with nested tables inside cells right now.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
