Deployment Type

Self-hosted

NetBox Version

v4.0.6

Python Version

3.12

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a type "Text (long)" custom field for Devices
  2. Save a very long text into this field
  3. Access the device in the "read-only" view
  4. The page gets very long and the user needs to scrol

Expected Behavior

Use a defined height for the text (long) type of custom field and add a scrollbar as it's shown in the edit-view of an object.
long-text_view
long-text_edit

Observed Behavior

Page gets very long and user needs to scroll.

Consider this as rather a "room for improvement" than a real bug.
