Above is a simple SQL.grid I have used.

I added "headers={'store_log_stats.cluster_name' : 'Cluster______________________________Name'}," to make sure that the column had enough space.

But even with enough space, the data is concatenated.

Actual names are "Cluster-LH-P4530-13-14", "Cluster-LH-P4530-11-12"

Just wondering how to make sure the Cluster name is displayed in full.

As per the documentation:

maxtextlength sets the maximum length of text to be displayed for each field value, in the grid view. This value can be overwritten for each field using maxtextlengths, a dictionary of 'tablename.fieldname':length e.g. {'auth_user.email' : 50}

Where do we set the maxtextlength?

It's an argument of SQLFORM.grid.
