Multiple Lines of Text field behaving strangely in Editable Grid view

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 85

Our users like to use multi-line text fields to track their notes on opportunities. This way it's easier look through them on a view without going to each record individually.

When you go to edit the field, it brings you to the bottom, but I can understand the reason for this functionality

The issue we're running into is if you try to scroll to the top, it cuts off most of the top line of text and it's very difficult to get to and edit from the beginning of the text, and using arrow keys will bring you to another record:

Is there a way to deal with this? Can row heights on views be slightly increased to stop the cutoff from happening? Maybe it's possible to use JS to bring the cursor to the beginning of the field on selection? Any ideas are much appreciated.

    Our customer has the same requirement. We're also tracking notes on opportunity using the Editable subgrid. For us it's not so much a problem while editing inline. However, we would like a solution that in the "read" view would wrap the text in multiple lines, so we don't need to hover over each record to read the full text.

    It would be nice if a custom control would exist for this purpose.
