Is it possible to limit the length (number of characters) a field in one view and have a different length in another view?

For instance, if a user performs a search on a directory we want a short version (limited number of characters) of a field to display, but when the user clicks through they see the fields' entire content.

Hi,
sorry this is not possible natively, the simplest workaround is to use CSS like "text-overflow: ellipsis" (https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_text-overflow.asp)

Complex alternative is to use Joomla template override feature and set the length via PHP
