How do I force word wrap on a multi line column

[Marcus Khoo]

Hi,
I have a Multi line column that contains a very very long text string with no spaces in it.

The “standard” SharePoint form will force a wrap so there is no horizontal scroll bar

The standard presentation in DFFS is to give me a horizontal scroll bar which makes highlighting and then copying it rather difficult.

How do I make this “long with no spaces” string appear on multiple lines without a horizontal scroll bar (maybe a veritcal one though)?
Thanks!

Hi,
I’ll look into adding this to the default solution, but as a quick fix you can add this to your custom css:

[data-fieldtypekind="3"] div[class*="formBodyWrap"] {
  word-break: break-all;
}
