Have a setting/toggle for "Compact card view". The current default card view shows several fields at once and leaves very little space for the description field, see image below:

Almost half the modal window is for tab buttons, date, owner and tags fields.

I'm guessing a setting option to switch between Compact card view and the default option would help working efficiently between different workflows:

  • Multi user project with tags, start/due dates: default view
  • Single user, no start/due date: compact view

Describe the solution you'd like

A compact view like this provides maximum description view:

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • I tried to use the open on sidebar view, but it still shows all the fields.
  • It's possible to just enter white space (or increase the default editor__content-wrapper min-height) to be able to scroll

Research direction

Start by locating the card view and the editor__content-wrapper styling mentioned in the issue, then review the related Deck issue #2702 for context. The work is complete when users can switch between the default and compact card layouts and the compact layout provides substantially more description space without removing the default fields.
