Report - ability to wrap content in description column

Post Title: Allow “wrap content” in description column in the reports

Your Question/Topic:
Actually I have the wish to be able to give each item I track a short title + optional long description → see here why I think that this would be a powerful feature.

However, as this is not possible (as of now) it would be good at least to give longer descriptions for tracking entries.

This can be done already, even though it’s not convenient at all of course, Toggl is made for short descriptions. But often when looking back you simply need more context = longer descriptions.

When reviewing in a report the description column does not receive much space (narrow column, single line). And because it’s not wrapping the content but only showing it in a single line many of the items become almost impossible to understand. I must hover over each row individually to understand what I actually tracked.

Context: why all that manual reviewing of reports? there can be several reasons, e.g. in my case I am invoicing in an (external software) and I am never able to invoice what I actually tracked, hence I am reviewing the report manually and then convert what’s appropriate for the invoicing into the external software. Hours spent is often not equal hours charged (and that can be positive or negative).

I am not that active in here so I don’t know whether it’s Toggl staff members and/or other users commenting but I would be happy to hear from all of you.

edit: Forgot that I prepared a screenshot

Current possible workaround (besides hovering over each row) is to export the report but of course it would be convenient to see it directly in the view online.
