If the Description for a Dataset is over 501 characters an ellipse (...) is just added to the end of the 501 character. However, there is no testing to see what the last character is.

For example if the last character is a space the space is shown and then the ellipse: "sometext ..."

A word might be cut off: "sometext somet..."

The 501 character might be a period causing 4 dots instead of the typical 3 for an ellipse: "sometext...."

Typically we want to show the last full word of the limit and then place the ellipse after that word. If the last character is a period, do nothing.


The text amount displayed 501 is quite long and it might be better to shorten the text. Or at the very least have a way that we can set the text length once and then have all truncated textfields use the same value.


Finally, we might want to consider adding a "read more" link at the end of the description if the text is truncated. (Or always actually...)
