Multi-line text field cuts off text when in metadata group that's collapsed by default

Last updated on 8 September 2025

Admin
Metadata Card Configuration

Overview

In new Desktop client or Web, the multi-line text property does not show the "More" option. 

Issue is limited to properties that are inside metadata property groups.

Solution

Issue can be seen when metadata card configurations are in use, and the multi-line text is inside a property group that has the "Is Collapsed By Default" option in use.

As a workaround, not having the group collapsed by default in the configuration will help. 

This has been reported to M-Files product development as an issue with ID CAT-462. The ID will be listed in the release notes when a fix is available.
