Can we make single line text field to multiline

Posted on by Subhransup 50

Hello All,

When we are entering data to any type of free text field its always single line, can we make it multiline.

For example the description field in the attached image allows 60 characters in single line

    Hi Subhransup,

    It is not possible to change this to multi-line. If you need more characters, you can consider a custom field, but this would probably also only a single line field.
