Preventing oversized cells when inserting long references into tables

Jul 20, 2020

I have a table that contains variable references, the values of these variables will be 1 or 2 characters long, but the variable name is significantly longer.

How can I set the cell size to be correct for the value NOT the %varValueOf01% reference, as the cells are ridiculously oversized and the table doesn't fit in the player? The 'Autofit' options are greyed out.

I know I've achieved this before, but I can't for the life of me remember how.

Hi Steven,

Thank you for your post and helpful visual!

I'm having a similar experience when inserting variable references into a table in Storyline. Here's a quick run-through.

We designed the table cells to resize so that they match the text included. Could using a Variable Reference with a shorter name or decreasing the font size work for your project?

Let me know!
