Editor Widget — Expand field to show lenghy text value

[Bud]

I have an editor widget in an Experience Builder app that has a field with an 800-character text value.

It's hard to read the text value when it's crammed into a single-line textbox. Could Experience Builder be enhanced so that the textbox can be made permanently larger?

Or add a manual expand toggle like this?

This setting is available, but not in Experience Builder itself. You need to open the webmap in Field Maps Designer (or the Map Viewer) and on the Form config pane, you can set that field to Text - Multiline. This is then honoured by the Edit Widget in Experience Builder. It even includes the little handle for expanding the text box as you suggested.

Thanks! I see what you mean about forms being available in the Map Viewer (I'm not using Field Maps). As someone who isn't an expert in web GIS, I either didn't know that or forgot.

Forms aren’t just for ArcGIS Field Maps anymore

Glad I could help! From memory it was something that was developed in the webmap after Field Maps Designer was released, obviously because not all webmaps are intended for Field Maps use.

I configured the form in the web map and saved the changes. The multi-line text boxes are shown in the web map edit tool:

 

But when I preview my existing Experience Builder app, the fields are still shown as single-line in the editor widget.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

The solution was to change the Configure fields setting from Customize to Use layer settings.

@Bud Glad you figured it out. I hadn't had a chance to look into this deeper then it fell off my radar.
