Allow line breaks in Detail View Card Type header Description field

Please allow LongText columns used in the Description field on Card View type headers inside Detail Views to appear with their line breaks.

Thanks!

And make it stop trimming text length.  Its weird that Subheader doesnt trim, but the field that specifically is intended for "long text" trims the length.

I am bumping this to raise awareness.  This is has persisted for at least 2 years now!  The Description field on a Card View IS designed for LongText.  The fact that we cannot use LongText defined columns in it IS A BUG!!   Please fix this insane issue!!

Got another bump... Three years later lol

If this *isn't* a bug, it's certainly a terrible feature.

Assuming devs are crazily fixing this issue, could I ask that line breaks should also be possible in the header and sub-header fields, not just in the text field below the image? Really, wherever a user chooses to put text with line breaks, in any view, even table view, it should be allowed.

As far as I can tell none of the "scrolling" views allow line breaks. I have lists of thousands of POs and a customer's eye can scan for certain information as they scroll quickly through hundreds of POs, but only if the information is always in the same place.  

Line breaks are allowed in some views, but only those where you can see only one record at a time. So you can't scroll through dozens of records quickly to find the info you're after.
