Hi everyone, I am creating a monthly report in the Report Module. The report contains multiple rows, and the number of user entries varies each day. For a single day report, I can display the data without any issues. However, for a one-month report, some days may have many user values, causing the text content to exceed the size of the text box. Is there a way to make the text box height increase automatically based on the amount of data so that all user values are displayed without being cut off? Any suggestions or examples would be appreciated. Thank you. ---

If you're using the table component it should automatically resize the cell to for the text. If you're not using the table component for this, I'd recommend using it. ---

In Ignition I wouldn't format the report like that personally. The left column shouldn't exist as it's a waste of space and instead that text should be the column heading of your right column. If you use a table, this is one of the most basic reports you can do and is easy. I'm on mobile right now but I'm sure if you follow the Inductive University course on reporting it will show you how to do this. ---
