Truncated EXPORT...

August 23, 2020, 03:32:03 PM

Hi,
From my perspective, following behavior is a BUG:
1) Because in a LIST VIEW you may have a VERY LONG field (e.g. CHAR(512)) you may want to TRUNCATE this at 20 characters using the FormatFieldRecord: "--str_truncate(20,'...')--"
2) If you export the LIST ...truncated TEXTS will be exported, and is not ok, because at the EXPORT, e.g. in EXCEL you want to see the FULL TEXT ! ....truncating in a view is just a matter of formatting, and that's all. Even at in-line EDIT the FULL string should be shown.
Question: Is there a work around for this ?
Thanks for any help, Catalin
