I have a structure field in my blueprint that fills a field with textarea.

When i now insert a long text there now it gets confusing in the panel, because it shows all of the text.

Is it possible to display only an excerpt in the kirby panel in a structure field via blueprint?

No, not natively, but if you use the snippet field you can:

> **[jenstornell/kirby-snippetfield](https://github.com/jenstornell/kirby-snippetfield)**
>
> kirby-snippetfield - Structure field with snippet instead of entry.
