Now I feel more lost. length appears to bind to the value of the width of the displayed column
100 : (pageConfiguration = 'ListAgenda' and propertyKey = 'meetingPurpose') => length = "20" [com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment] and binding suffixWhenTrimmed did nothing. 100 : (pageConfiguration = 'ListAgenda' and propertyKey = 'meetingPurpose') => suffixWhenTrimmed = "..." [com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment] the end result that I want is that if the string is, "The quick brown fox", I want to display "The q…" if the length is "5". using the ERDDisplayLargeString as the componentName did not do this. Or I am missing how this works.
