The field Stock->Title will only display the first 40 characters of a stock item's product description. If your product descriptions are typically longer than that, then in Visual Builder do the following:
1. Double-click on the product description field object.
2. Next to "Name" replace Stock->Title with StockTitleLong
3. Next to Display Length, enter the maximum line description you want to display, e.g., 80 or 100.
3. Click on the Formula tab.
4. Inside the editor window type:
Return StockDescription()
5. Press OK to save your changes.
Note that the function StockDescription() is new to CAPITAL 7.4 or above. Also, product descriptions can be of unlimited length, however you always have a limited amount of space in which to display such information on your forms. So some compromise for space reasons may still be required.
