Hi,

You can write a formatter function that truncated the line or splits it with a line-break (using HTML `<br/>` tag).  
you could look into 'Scripted Fields`([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/scripted-fields.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/scripted-fields.html))

Thanks
