Gantt Chart 2.2.3 How to wrap task names

How can you wrap the task name or expand the task column so it shows all the data? 

 

TIA

Hi @scottjl ,

Based on your description, seems like the Gantt Chart could not show the whole task name like this:

As far as I know, currently Gantt chart 2.2.3 could not support to change the task name length. You can try to use 'Gantt Chart-xViz' which allows to adjust.

Hi 

 

Is there any way to word wrap, as my Task names are dynamic and the lengths are quite longer sometimes.

 

Thanks

Thank you. I do have another question. How do you export the data to a PDF so it shows all the data instead of just what you see on the screen?

Hi @scottjl ,

To expand task columns in Gantt Chart, you can put a colmn in the 'Parent' field to show it as hierarchical level.

Thanks for the reply. If your task names are 4 or 5 words, they are cut off in the task column and I can't figure out a way to drag the column to the right for example or have the words wrap.

You can change the width of the field under Category Labels, but I don't know if you can wrap the text.

Thanks @LydiaS
