Solved. I wanted to make 3 lines of text and ellipsis, and did it by copying this style and pasting it in the custom CSS section.

Thanks for sharing :). Overflow is a property already available on our property, so make sure you are not overriding something.
In the meantime we have added this to the wanted feature, and will probably add the option in nocode for text and button
