Is there any way within AL or otherwise to adjust the size of a display box, for example, on the Purchase Invoice screen, I want to adjust the size of the Work Description field on the Sales Invoices screen?

Looks like Zhu has a good solution. One thing I would add... I have found that by moving/grouping other fields in the same area, you can usually cause a blob field to show more lines.

Hi, I just tested it briefly. If you create a Factbox to display Work Description, it can display 5 lines. . . . .

Update: As long as Editable = false and ShowCaption = false, five lines can be displayed.

My test code:

pageextension 50111 ZYSalesOrderExt extends "Sales Order" { layout { addafter(Status) { field("Work Description 2"; WorkDescription) { Editable = false; ShowCaption = false; ApplicationArea = All; MultiLine = true; } } addfirst(factboxes) { part(SalesOrderWorkdescription; "Sales Order Work description") { ApplicationArea = All; SubPageLink = "Document Type" = FIELD("Document Type"), "No." = field("No."); } } } var WorkDescription: Text; trigger OnAfterGetRecord() begin WorkDescription := Rec.GetWorkDescription(); end; } page 50111 "Sales Order Work description" { Caption = 'Sales Order Work description'; PageType = CardPart; SourceTable = "Sales Header"; InsertAllowed = false; Editable = false; DeleteAllowed = false; layout { area(Content) { field("Work Description"; WorkDescription) { Caption = 'Work Description'; ShowCaption = false; ApplicationArea = All; MultiLine = true; } } } var WorkDescription: Text; trigger OnAfterGetRecord() begin WorkDescription := Rec.GetWorkDescription(); end; }

Hope this helps as well.

Thanks.

Unfortunately as far as I know, this cannot be adjusted by default.

In addition to the Java script that Bilal mentioned, you can also try WebPageViewer Add-in.

Hope this helps as well.

Thanks.

Thank you, we are trying to increase the size of the field. Right now it shows 3 lines, we would like to change it to 6 lines.

Hi,

Yes there is limited options for adjustments within AL (more options using Java script). Can you elaborate what adjustment exactly you need for Work description.
