I have a custom function returning an EntityCellValue being viewed by the user in a card layout. If a field has type "String" type then the actual string is shown with trimmed whitespace and no newlines.
What is the best way to show multiline text in the card format? There don't appear to be any word wrap formats or options available in the layout.
I've tried manually breaking the string and putting multiple "String" values into an Array layout. This requires an extra click by the user to view, and each line overflows to the right requiring horizontal scrolling.
