Serial number is a standard field Text(80)

Hi Sandrine,

Here you go with the VF page code to meet your goal of showing Serial Number in two lines, first 8 character on line 1 and remaining on line 2.

<apex:outputText value="{0}{1}" escape="false"> <apex:param value="{!LEFT(caseObj.Asset.SerialNumber, 8)}"/> <apex:param value="{!IF(LEN(caseObj.Asset.SerialNumber) > 8,'<br/>'+RIGHT(caseObj.Asset.SerialNumber, LEN(caseObj.Asset.SerialNumber)-8),'')}"/> </apex:outputText>

I Hope that will solve your issue.
Best Regards

Either of following:
1. Create 2 formula fields and show them on the page.
2. Create controller to fetch the data via apex and split it into 2 using 2 variables exposed and linked on the page.

Hello Sumeet,

Thank you for reply.
I cannot create new formula field.
Is it possible to realize my usecase directly by manipulating in VF only without using controller

Certain formula conditions are allowed in VF itself. So you can try using substring functions twice in the page to get the result you need. If that doesnt work, I would say, try javascript on the VF.
