How to increase the height of a 100 character limit text box on a form

[SC10]

Good day! I was wondering if you knew of an easy solution to increase the height of a string field on a normal form? I'm trying to create a max 100 character string field in a split column, but the field is displaying as your typical two-column string field would (very short), and I need it to be larger to better represent the amount of text (100 chars) that can be entered into it.

Thank you

Hmmm very very strange. I can't explain why this is happening in Istanbul.

Testing this in my developer instance that is on Kingston, the behaviour is not happening.

Hey superman ctomasi, have you seen this kind of behaviour that I discovered above? Might need to test it on an Istanbul test instance.

From what I know, you don't. Anything with a max length of < 255 characters is displayed as a single line. If it's greater than that, it's a larger select box.

The standard forms were designed with the intent that you don't have to concern yourself with layout, HTML, CSS, and other nonsense of a high-control programming environment in an effort to increase development velocity.

That being said, if you have a string field > 40 characters, best practice is to put it in the single column layout, not double (side by side.) See default "short description" on incident as an example.

Hiii,

I have placed my string field in one column layout in my form, however, I'm not able to see its full value. it got stretched till end but displaying only 128 characters while I have 255 chars in that .. 

I tried field styles and could increase height of the value field but since content under my value is not coming in word wrap, no use ... 

Pls help !!
