Any method to widen Comments field?

(3) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by MahGah 15,529

Hi

We use comments in SO or Customer a lot. Our biggest challenge here is comments field is not wide enough to show the entire comment. We have no way to see the entire comment. 

Is it any way to widen the comment area to see the entire comment? I mean the perfect example is "Work Description" in SO (of course Work Description is blob and comments are not). 

Thanks

    Hi MahGah,

    This is a common problem in BC which we faced in most of the comments area. We have implemented a multicomment page for these areas, Create a page with BigText type field and create a action to open the created page.  Append all the comments to Bigtext while opening that new page and show them using multiline property.  If user modifies the comment then split them again and add back to the actual comments.  You need to write a logic for these splitting and appending the comments.

    Please let me know if it helps.

    Regards,

    Mahesh U

    Thanks Mahesh

    That helps. In our case we have a custom page for comments. But do you mean we create an action on top of this page that does what you mentioned? In the other words, it is no way to widen the comments. Only to use separate page and action to show them in BigText

    Since your question about widening the Comments field follows a discussion about Windows 11 Notepad and automation issues, I’ll assume you’re referring to adjusting the Comments field in a software interface, possibly related to Notepad, a programming environment, or a specific application like RoboTask or a web form. Sprunki
