Hi,

Please refer to the below example.

The solution is to basically expand/collapse different text boxes.

Hi Ido Inbar thanks your answer.
I don’t want to collapse.
Just I want to decide the number of characters to be displayed.
when click “read more” the other page open and read all.
Like a blog elements.

Henson Li thanks your kind!
I try it like this, but it’s not work, please tell me again. where I’m wrong,

$w.onReady( function () {
$w(“#repeater1”).data = $w(“#dataset2”).getCurrentItem();
$w(“#repeater1”).onItemReady(($w, itemData, Index) => {
//itemData.title refer to database’s field…
let repeaterTitle = “link-carinfoform-title”;
//substr(0first character, 40maximum character number you want)
var repeaterTitleMaxLength = repeaterTitle.substr(0, 40);
$w(“#text32”).text = repeaterTitleMaxLength;
});
});

Hi,
You need to replace property with your page element and it works with repeater.
Do you use repeater?

If you use “link-carinfoform-title”, all of your repeaterItem’s title may change to link-carinfoform-title.

Moreover, element you want to have maxLength cannot collect with any database.

Hi HensoLi,
I’m sorry so many question.

I use repeater.

I can’t understand the mean

//itemData.title refer to database’s field…
let repeaterTitle = itemData.title;

database’s field is this image one?
