Experience Builder Edit Widget needs multiline option for text fields

[LJackson29]

The Edit Widget in Experience Builder needs to allow for multiline text for text fields that are long. We have a feature layer that has a project description field that is 500 characters which is difficult to edit in the small box provided in the Edit Widget. It would be nice if a multiline expandable box were available.

It looks like this can be accomplished in the General Settings of the editor widget under Save Settings "Switch to multiline input when field length exceeds X" turned on.  I know that does not seem very intuitive and to be honest I am not sure what else it is doing but I was just messing with the settings and it seems to have fixed the display.

@HMarcks Can you clarify where you are taking those snapshots. I don't have anything that looks like that in the Experience Builder Edit Widget or Map Viewer Forms.

Thanks!

That looks like Web App Builder, not Experience Builder.

Agree with the above comments, looking for this functionality built into the Experience Builder interface and not via a web map workaround.

For multiline text input in the Edit widget, you need to configure a Form for the editable layer. You can do this directly within Map Viewer. Configure forms for attribute editing (Map Viewer)—ArcGIS Online Help | Documentation

When you add the text field to the Form, make sure to choose the Text - Multiline input type.

Then, when you edit attributes for the features, you'll see that multiline input and will be able to expand it.

I agree with all the above posts!  We do need easily accessible multiline functionality in the edit widget.

Does anyone have a workaround when the edit widget is interacting with the list widget?  The map form doesn't seem to have any affect when those two are linked together.
