Hello, I’m wondering if it’s possible to create something similar in Adalo. Limiting the number of characters that are visible then once you click on the post or see all it will link to a diffrent page and display the full text.

This can’t be done natively in Adalo right now, but you could use external services to split these in to 2 separate entities. (Summary and FullText).

Hi Colin,

Do you have any suggestions on where to look for a service that could handle this?
