Wrap text in column headings and/or cells

Is there an option to have column heading and/or cell contents wrap in their cells?

Unfortunately not.

wrap text on the top row would be useful, especially when the column criteria doesnt need to be wide - a better visual of your board

This feature would be extremely useful to make boards much easier to read and scroll through horizontally. I have boards with many columns. Many have longish column heading names, but the cell contents are only a few characters long. Thus the inability to wrap text wastes valuable real estate. This seems like a basic functionality in something like Excel. I hope we can get some more votes on this request and get it some attention.

This would be so so useful to us. I have a board where many of the columns represent tasks that are very slightly different and key differentiators are difficult to see in the column header because the text doesn’t wrap, but making the columns wide enough to see the entire header is very unwieldy. I’ve tried everything I can to truncate the text but text wrapping is still needed.

+1 for this feature. I have several columns on a large sheet where the titles are long but the contents are small.

+1 This would unblock us. It’s a must have to choose Monday over Coda.

Column readability is paramount in a tool such as Monday.com
I can’t emphasise enough how important these seemingly small improvements will be to most users!

+1 here. Without this, it makes the review of information submitted by the Forms view almost unusable.

Also or possibly instead, could a widget be created that allows you to pull out cell contents into something presentable as a report (e.g. to visualise information that’s put in through a form - e.g. into a Project Initiation document type format or a Status Report format that I can pdf)…

+1, we use monday as a product backlog with our clients and we like to write user stories. This would make the whole board much more readable if we could wrap the text automatically according to the size of the column instead of trimming the overflowing text.
