How to untruncate fields in business central
In Business Central, field values are generally not truncated at the data level. What you’re seeing is usually a page layout or UI issue.
The practical solution is to adjust the page, either through personalization or a page extension, so the control can display the full value.
For standard pages, users can resize the column or personalize the page (Settings → Personalize). Business Central stores column width per user, which resolves most truncation cases.
If the issue affects all users or a custom page, the correct fix is a page extension where the field control is updated, for example, by enabling multiline display for text fields.
Example (AL):
field("Description"; Rec.Description)
{
MultiLine = true;
}
This approach aligns with the Business Central tech stack and allows the full value to be displayed without changing the underlying data.
Normally the question is how to truncate ![]()
It’s not a standard process of truncation until and unless somewhere is crossing the character limit.
