Current Style

While I want something like this:

Expected Style

I am currently using:

documentclass[a4paper,12pt,openright,notitlepage,twoside]{book}
usepackage{tocloft} % it serves to make lists of the most beautiful figures and tables

renewcommand{cftfigfont}{Figure } % to add "Figures" in the list of figures

% List of Figures
phantomsection
listoffigures
addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{listfigurename}
cleardoublepage

Please let me know how to solve this issue in case list entry with long sentences.

One Answer

Please read again the tocloft documentation.

% lofprob.tex SE 561254
documentclass{book}
usepackage{tocloft}

%renewcommand{cftfigfont}{Figure }
renewcommand{cftfigpresnum}{Figure }  % put Figure before number
setlength{cftfignumwidth}{5em} % need more space for Figure + number

begin{document}

listoffigures

chapter{A chapter}

begin{figure}
centering
 A FIGURE
caption{Regular caption}
end{figure}

begin{figure}
centering
ANOTHER FIGURE
caption{A caption that will take more than one line in the List of Figures}
end{figure}

end{document}

Use cftfigpresnum to put something before the number and increase cftfignumwidth to allow for the increased space required for the modified number.
