How to resize columns and arrange text of Salesforce cards in Lucid

How can I resize or set specific size for the attribute column(s) of a card used in Salesforce templates?

When the text does not contain any space, the column will be resized accordingly which is desired (2nd column in screenshot below). However, when the text includes space, it return breaks making more than a line (first column in screenshot below).

Update! A column min width feature has been released. Add a Salesforce Card to your document, then look to the right hand panel to adjust. Start by changing the column width to 250px and 500px to try it out.

I have not found a way to fix spacing on any these shape elements. 

I may have to use that as a hack. I have the same problem with Smart Table formatting.

Hi ​@MarioE, thanks for posting in the Lucid Community! Just as ​@Paul McC mentioned, I also am seeing this on my end and I’d like to verify this with the product team!

Would you mind clarifying which salesforce template or card you are using? 

Can you please send a temporary Support PIN for this document? This will allow me to take a closer look at the issue you’re experiencing. For more information on generating a Support PIN, check out this Help Center article. These PINs are only accessible by members of the Lucid support staff, so it is safe to share within this thread.

Hi ​@Ambar D - Thank you for looking into this and verifying with the product team.

The templates I am referring to are here: Salesforce Shape Library and Templates in LucidChart

My hack is actually to include the underscores in between words and then change the font color of the underscore to match the background to “hide” it so do not get thrown off by how it is “working” when it is actually not. :P

 

My Support PIN is duOmtf078dSbYK208253050.

Hi ​@MarioE, thanks for providing that additional information.

The product team has confirmed that this is expected behavior at this moment. Your workaround sounds like a great alternative here, thanks for sharing! 

We will reach back out if things change in the future.
