Description
Plugin-defined Portable Text block cards concatenate every string field into one subtitle. Blocks with multiple or long fields become unreadable, and the subtitle truncates to a tiny fragment when the block is selected because the action buttons use the remaining width.
Expected: show a concise, predictable summary, such as a plugin-configurable summary field or one designated display field.
Steps to reproduce
- Define a native Portable Text block with multiple text inputs, including a multiline field.
- Insert it and enter long values.
- View the block in a narrow editor.
- Select the block.
The subtitle combines every value and truncates to only a few characters.
Environment
- EmDash 0.37.0
- Local Astro dev server
- macOS
Screenshot
At a narrow editor width, the selected card subtitle is reduced to a fragment such as "Copy pr...". The saved content and public rendering are unaffected.
