Hi Simion
I’m using flex block to display a single row of posts. Posts vary in length causing columns to be different heights. I would like to make them equal height.

I see know, you can use the excerpt settings to limit the post title length and also the actual excerpt length

That will take care of uneven excerpts.
Sorry that’s not it. I am talking about the column height. A simple example is this. I have 1 row with 3 columns. Each column has a post. Each post has a title with a different length (e.g. 1 line, 2 lines, 3 lines long). The height of each column will be different. This can be most easily seen if I apply a border or background. I would like the column to be of equal height.
If I factor in excerpts, then it is the same problem. Sometimes I want an excerpt for 1 post that is longer than another post. I want the column containing the shorter post to match the height of the column containing the longer post.

Thanks.
So the problem is with the post title. I have also made an example
Posts with various article title lengths – https://www.screencast.com/t/kALYh30dt
Of course the columns will not be equal if the titles have shorter/longer lengths.
You can now choose and excerpt type in the theme panel

And set a limit for the title – https://www.screencast.com/t/DohscvnEL
That would limit the length for longer titles, directly affecting the height of the module.
Each module/block has excerpt setting, fine tune them according to your case.
That would be the only way of having equal height across all modules. A height limit does not exist per column or per module in our composer. They will be affected by the title and excerpt lengths, this will result in various heights.
By limiting them the columns will be equal. The limit can be set per module type and block in the composer, so each type of module in a block can have it’s own limit.
this whas what I was looking for, however the height restriction would be useful if this can be included in a future update.
