The clearest way to explain this is with an image:

I want to only show the first two lines of the "Solution" field, as otherwise with a long solution, it becomes very hard to browse the list. Is this possible? I've looked at the list and view options, and nothing is apparent.
A Multiple lines of text column can store up to 63,999 characters, and you can specify the number of lines of text that you want to display when people enter information about an item. This type of column displays all the text when the column is viewed in a list or library.
You have to customize the card designer JSON for gallery view & add style to the element where you want to wrap the text.
You can lock the list down so that none of the managers have edit rights to your list at all. Then create a dedicated user account specific for this purpose that does have edit access to the list.
Multiline Text Fields allow just 255 characters in Microsoft Lists/SharePoint Online Lists. In SharePoint Online Document Libraries there is a "allow unlimited length" option (Reference MSFT Community).
Cannot see image, corporate blockage, but for a text column this will work.
Create a new column and make it calculated, make the formula =left("your column",2000) then use the calculated column in your views.
