Ability to Click Into and View Full Text Box of Text Formatted Line Item When Read Access Applied

A client has a need to be able to lock down Budget information in a financial model that has several text formatted line items that contain commentary to justify Budget information.  However, after the Budget is completed and Read access is applied to the Version, users cannot click in and see the whole comment in the line item.  User's comments are cutoff by the size of the column and this information is needed for future planning tasks.

The ability to click into and view the full text of a text formatted line item, after read security is applied, is needed.

This would be very beneficial to our end users as well. We've built out commentary notes on dashboards that get locked down following the first level of review. These notes need to be visible to the second level reviews and other users, however the text is cut off and users are unable to read the full commentary.

This would be very useful. Currently, in order to read full texts, users either enlarge the column (which takes multiple steps) or copy/past in a text editor. Neither of which is very ergonomic.

Agreed. This is a really big issue for our users, because large comments could be added to multiple list members displayed in a dashboard element, so revieweing the notes to make a decision gets much more cumbersome as they have to copy/paste these items every time the users switches to review another list member.
