Question

I have a large field that logs previous entries. I want to show everything that is in that field

I have a field called "Details". When a user types info into Details, the form appends that entry into a field called "Log". The problem is that Log gets very long. When Log reaches the preset number of lines, QuickBase truncates it and creates a link that says "Show All Entries".

How can I make quickbase show all entries on the same form?

    Interesting question. I don't recall anyone ever asking that before.

    You can make a new field called [Log field all entries]. It will be a formula text field with the formula of just


    [my log field]

    ie it will be be a mirror field, but since it's just a plain vanilla text field it will just show the text without any of that log behavior. You would set the Form properties to only show in edit mode.

    I just did this, and it's showing the log behavior.
    Can you explain further what the problem is?

    I just realized that you have to use the 'Trim' formula. However, is there any way to display the truncated information without the dashes?
    Sorry, I'm not understanding the question.
