How can I make the Part Description field display completely in Part Maintenance and Part Tracker? I am considering attempting a new panel?
Any ideas?

You can click on the “XA” I think and it expands.

Another idea would be to add a “Text Area” to your form.
I suppose you could potentially replace the base text box, but the PartNum & Description fields are linked together “out-of-the-box”. So you’d have to recreate the entire control which seems pretty “specialized”
But the Text Areas are adjustable. As long as you map it to the same binding, as you update the text box, it will update the Text Area.
Initially I set mine up in this example to be read only, which forces the user to edit the description in the Text BOX.
But you could not do the Read-Only setting and allow users to edit the description in the Text AREA if you wanted. Again, since they’re bound to the same EpBinding, if you change one and click/tab out it will update the other.

I have also done that too. Expect it wasn’t till after I did all that work that I learned about that expand functionality and that was fine for my users! haa

Agreed. I also just trained everybody to click the “Translation” icon and edit it in the slide out. Laziness on my part perhaps so I didn’t have to customize anything… plus, its just a duplicate area cluttering up the form.
I do like your answer better… was just tossing out another option

nice call… voted!
Thanks everyone.
I like the suggestion about the Translate button/fly-out. but that doesn’t work in Part Tracker or Sales Order Tracker. I submitted a ticket about this and was told it’s a known issue.
I voted for the Idea too!
That’s odd. Mine work okay in Part Tacker and Order Tracker. Slide Outs open (read only, since they’re trackers).
