Adding my vote here too. Just spent a while looking for this in the UI, but no luck ![]()
I know it’s a non-trivial addition because of the layout ramifications, but it really does seem like a standard for anything that looks like a spreadsheet.
Would love an Asana moderator to share an update on if text wrapping is in the pipeline. Sort of shocking that it still doesn’t exist after 8 years of requesting.
We would very much like to see this requirement implemented.
Some of our workflows have lots of custom fields that should easily fit on a single screen. However, due to the inability to wrap text, I have to stretch out the fields so that the user understands the information that is being presented. As a result, our users find themselves scrolling across constantly to view the information they want to see
Unbelievable!!! Lets go Asana
Sarah, Would you mind sharing the link where we can vote to add Word Wrap? thanks, Mike
Hi Mike,
It’s at the very top left of this thread. You can click on “Nov 2017”
at the top of the timeline on the righthand side, to jump there faster than scrolling. (Or on the title of the thread it seems!)
bumping this, I don’t see how adding an option to have text wrap would break anything as it wouldn’t be the default…
Unbelievable we still don’t have this option 8 years after …
That’s true, but there are other consequences to adding options. If interested, you could look at 🦄 If Wishes Were Unicorns: Why Asana Might Not Have Implemented that Feature Request (and other thoughts about Asana feature development and product strategy) at the “Simply add an option…" section.
If you haven’t already, click the title of this request topic to scroll to the top and vote by clicking the Vote button; that’s the quickest and most effective way to express your support for a request.
Thanks,
Larry
Is there any way to include a long-text description in the task list view that wraps? Monday.com has this feature and is super helpful but would LOVE it if this were possible in Asana.
Hello Matt and welcome to the Asana Community Forum! Thank you very much for sharing your feedback with us! As it stands, text wrapping is currently not available, but I think this could be a good feature! We already have a thread on this topic, so I went ahead and merged your post with the main thread to consolidate feedback. I’ll update the main thread once I have news about this feature. In the meantime, if you have further questions, feel free to post them here. Enjoy your Asana experience! ![]()
