Hi Venkatesh,

You may use onLoad client script for this as follows:

var x = $("change_request.description"); //any field

x.style.height ="350px"; // any pixels

If this doesnot solve what you need you may use autoResize function on jQuery. Reference: Textarea Tricks | CSS-Tricks

$('textarea').autoResize();

Please Hit âœ…Correct, â�ï¸�Helpful, or â�£ï¸�Like depending on the impact of the response

I would make sure to check that $("change_request.description") is not undefined before trying to manipulate it. If you use this code and ServiceNow changes the way the form renders where that no longer targets anything you'll end up with a JS error that will affect the way the form loads. I have learned this the hard way over the years...

Hi Brad,
Is there any other defined way to increase the height of text area?

please suggest any other way?

Thanks

I would use a field style to increase the height so that there is no upgrade risk.

Define field styles

In the style field on the field style you can use something like:

height:120px;
