Expand text box - web form

JoshHarris2

I have a survey that is predominantly completed in a web browser. One of the questions requires free text, and I have set a character limit of 1000. Sadly, the text box does not expand when you enter text that exceeds the width of the text box on display. This makes it hard to read back over text that has been entered.

Is this behaviour expected?

Many thanks

Josh

Hi Josh,

Depending upon which method you used to create your survey, I would consider using the multiline text option, rather than single line. If Survey123 Connect was used to design your survey, you can set the a value of 'multiline' in the appearance column for the desired question in your XLSForm. If you used the web designer, available with the Survey123 website, you can add a "Mulitline Text" question.

This would be the best method to allow for all text to be seen, regardless of length of the answer.

Best,

Brandon

can you exceed 1000 character length? My field operator needs more than 1000 characters but regardless if i change the "FieldLength" to 2000 and the "appearance" tab to "multiline" it wont let me publish and says my character length is too short of 1000... when its set to 2000. Any help please!?

We are having the same issue with needing more than 1000 characters as well.
