Keynote Legend Format

[RJSNZ]

It seems like in order to set out a legend using all keynote elements (key/title/description/reference) you must use a 4 column format. (3 if you exclude reference)

When your title and reference is long this seems extremely space inefficient on a layout.

Is there a way to organize the legend into 2 columns or even 1 and still show all the information?

option 1: (my default layout with CI Keynotes - Sample image attached)

Key : Title
        : Description
        : reference (?)

option 2:
Key : Title
Description
reference

It seems that this library object needs to have more flexibility in formatting and displaying of information:

Operating system used: Windows 10

Hi James, 

We really needed some of the functionality requested above to be in our template for the use of the inbuild keynotes tools.

Feel free to contact me if you want to see a worked example or help/feedback with developing the keynote schedule.
The height issue appears to be able to be overcome as can the issue with formatting a description under the key+ title.
Happy to share some snips of the code etc if that helps your team include that functionality of our mockup.

The method noting I'm just an architect with no professional programming experience etc was;
Modify the 2d script was to;
1/ Measure the height of all rows based on the dynamic table command / a clone of the draw table subroutine. This recorded heights in an array. The table settings avoided any render of the table as measured.
2/ Calculate a column-by-column total max number based on the height array.
3/ Run more or less the original main loop but substituting the imax values for the premeasured array values above.

This allows it to see the "context" and update on the fly and limited any changes.

Thanks for the additional feedback.

If you have any examples of the keynotes you're producing or are required to, feel free to send via DM - this will help our future planning.

I also think the team found a way to handle better the multi-unit keynote legend, but not sure when we can finish and deliver. But I'll continue to follow up.
