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.
