Re: Local Note truncated in query
Yes, in FH V6 it showed approximately the first 150 characters in a Note and terminated it with ellipsis … if longer. FH V7 has radically changed and only shows the first sentence or first line and a maximum of about 70 characters. With multiline text like yours, there is no simple workaround. It was suggested to Calico Pie that it was a backward step and that there should be a function to force all (or at least more) text to be displayed.
The only unsuitable solution is the one in the FHUG KB ‘Display long text such as Notes’: https://fhug.org.uk/kb/kb-article/display-long-text-such-as-notes/ e.g. =Text( GetParagraph(%INDI.NOTE2%,1) . " " . GetParagraph(%INDI.NOTE2%,2) . " " . GetParagraph(%INDI.NOTE2%,3) )
But you would need to continue up to GetParagraph(%INDI.NOTE2%,7)
You could complain to Calico Pie with a http://www.calico-pie.com/osticket/open.php support ticket.
Happy New Year, Mike Tate
