Overview

Our table field supports 2 types of text columns:

  1. Simple text. Such columns have a limit for the maximum number of characters used - 450 characters.

  1. Unlimited text. This column type has no input limitations.
    By default, the cell height is set to show the first 3 rows of text at a time for each cell.
    To view the full text, users can hover over the cell, and a tooltip will appear.
    To always display the full text without the line break, administrators can set it up through column configuration, i.e. mark the ‘Disable Text Truncation’ checkbox.

    Please note that this column type cannot be searched via JQL.

Column configuration

  1. Column Name: This is a required field where you need to enter a name for the new column.

  2. Minimal width: setting for column width.

  3. Mandatory: This checkbox allows you to specify whether the column should be mandatory or optional for saving the row values.

  4. Read-only: disallows users to edit column cells.

  5. Minimum length: a setting for the minimum length of the text entered in the cell.

  6. Maximum length: a setting for the maximum length of the text entered in the cell.

  7. Regular expression: This field allows you to specify a regular expression to validate the data entered in the column.

  8. Regular expression error message: This field allows you to specify the error message displayed if the data entered in the column does not match the regular expression.

  9. Wrap text: The text will be truncated after one row.

  10. Default Value: This field allows you to set a default value for every cell in a new row added to the table.

  11. Tooltip: This field allows you to specify a tooltip that will be displayed when users hover over the column header.

Wiki Editor panel

It is possible to include a wiki markup panel to any text column cell (simple or unlimited) which can be accessed by users when they click on the cell and enable cell edit mode.

By default, the panel is not enabled. To enable it, go to the table configuration page and click on the 'Actions' column menu. Then, select 'Manage' and mark the checkbox in the dialogue to enable the panel.
