Benefit Hub promo block content is displayed truncated in the megamenu

[jilladams]

Describe the defect

Promo blocks are used to promote Benefit Hub content in 2 places:

1. Benefit hub right rail
2. Mega menu

In the promo block form, e.g. https://prod.cms.va.gov/block/6, the Link summary field has a 500 character max. However: with the example from block 6, only 295 characters are entered, and the full text is cut off in the Mega menu display.

Benefit Hub right rail

Mega Menu

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to https://www.va.gov/health-care/
2. Observe the right rail promo, displaying full text.
3. Click on megamenu, VaA Benefits and Health care
4. Click on Healthcare right arrow
5. See the promo block, with text cut off.

Engineering notes

Full text of the promo Link summary should display in the megamenu. HOWEVER: there are 2 options for how to handle that, and we need to assess / decide which path makes most sense:

1. In Drupal, limit the characters on Link Summary field to a lower number that can effectively show in the provided megamenu space.
2. In the FE, adjust styles to show up to 500 chars. (This needs design input, and is probably a terrible idea.)
3. Maybe some combo -- shorten the char count a little, and also display full text?

ACs

TBD based on approach we decide.

• [ ] Promo text in the megamenu should not appear to be cut off
• [ ] Character limits in Promo block should be adjusted to suit the design / megamenu case - ?

Per product sync discussion with Wes / Dave:

• Not a fire drill, CAIA can fix with content edit for now.
• Anecdotally: header will show up to 138 chars of Link Summary, with a 2-line headline. (May show more if headline is 1 line.)
• Long-term: don't want the header to show 500 chars. Brevity encouraged.
• Could long-term split this up into 2 fields, 1 for header / 1 for right sidebar.
