Multiline (V) text in query trick

Hi all,
When creating some specific queries, I have struggled with what I thought was a limitation of the current Aware IM (extjs) queries, namely queries only supporting 1 line of text (vertically) and then today I tested adding a "snippet" and whola, the query now is a multiline query (vertically)

.

Where did you add the snippet

is a HTML tag that inserts a single line break.
I'm also curious as to where you have inserted this tag.

Got a screenshot?

I just added it directly in the text. Try it in a plain text attribute, add: "line 1 line2".

I cannot expect my users to type a at the end of every line. :-/

No surely not. I intend to use it with special queries with specific information and thereby control it + play around some with rules etc to see what I can come up with.

Related to this, support can't we have this functionality build in as a setting? Extjs has many different additional text etc settings that would be valuable and the more we have the better.
Thanks

I have a real need for it but have solved the issue with a Custom HTML Form which displays multiple lined text in a cell.

Also solved the problem of conditionally displaying of data (background colours and text) on different rows and columns as well. Actually provides a lot of flexibility really.

Hi Henrik,

Are you able to successfully able to create a new line in the plain text attribute ?

As i am try to append text in a plain text attribute with new line but not get any success.

Thanks,

Yes, this works for me. I add the text (see previous post) in a plain text attribute and then run a query with that attribute in the query and I have 2 lines.

Have you tried setting the css to

.x-grid-cell-inner {
white-space: normal;
}

as opposed to the default

.x-grid-cell-inner {
white-space: nowrap;
}

Nice tricks and after initial testing, seems like it works

. Thanks ACDC

Can that be applied for a single attribute in the query table rather than the entire app?

If so....where do you place it?
