WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?

The calculation formula/ rule occupies too much space. For example, for done relation, it takes at least double the column size to display the calculated results.

HOW COULD IT BE DONE?

Allow customisation of how this calculation rule is displayed.

REAL WORLD USE CASES

For smaller screen size.

RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVES

Perhaps my preferred way to solve this: Show the formula somewhere else e.g. like in coda or excel. This should resolve help manage future displays of Derived Relations (Formulas).

ADDITIONAL CONTEXT

The following bug report is also about the occupying space of calculation and results in set/collection.

I suggest this:

  1. Only the number should be displayed.
  2. If the mouse hovers above the number, a Tooltip appears that shows the calculation rule.

Oh, and btw.:
I would prefer a left-aligned alignment!

Why not :

  1. If column width it enough to display calculation rule, display it
  2. if colum width is less than whan it need, don’t display it (and the tooltip is a good idea)

Basically, in javascript :

  if (cellContent.offsetWidth >= resultDiv.scrollWidth) {
    nameSpan.style.display = 'inline';
  } else {
    nameSpan.style.display = 'none';
  }

But it remains to be seen whether this request will be taken into account.

Yes, I wonder all the time, why informations become cut although there is enough space?

Look for example at the “List” Layout in a Set or Collection. It is supposed to be more compact then the Grid, but in fact it cuts off information, so that it shows less information.

Or look at the Gallery Layout. In case you display Tags, only two Tags are visible on the Gallery Cards, even in cases where enough Space is there to show a third or fourth.

Or all kind of menus that are displayed unnecessary small and with a scroll bar, instead of simply displaying them bigger if there is enough space.

I repeatedly had the impression, that the devs somehow don’t like it to calculate the available space on screen, therefore they go the easy way to simply make everything so small that it fits under each circumstances.
