Hi,

Is there a reason why text wrapping is showing in one instance, but not the other?

Both are inline lists in tile format, same size, and design.

Is it the same field being used in each instance? I can’t see the upper part of the components screen…Some fields don’t wrap.

> @Antonio Just want to share an example of how headers not wrapping is a problem in the Cards layout… I use the Header to use a pop of color in the app - (okay so this color isn’t very vibrant) but still, it’s a visual branding of sorts. BUT, I have to trade-off legibility of the full headline. Please let these Headers wrap (along with Title etc - like in Tiles, they really shouldn’t be different). (PS: I know I’m being really annoying about this. grin) But please imagine what it’s like with o…

Nope I tried.

Headers and some other data source fields don’t wrap and it’s inconsistent between tiles and cards layout…something that drives us nuts @Antonio. Causes unnecessary rework trying to find something that works and there is always one issue or another. Please prioritize getting these data sources fields to all wrap, at least 2-3 lines, and let it be consistent between tiles and cards. 😅 😇

Ok, I see orientation is the only design difference. So it should be available for horizontal orientation as well.
