Survey 123 Input Box Disappears

[aam]

I am using survey 123 connect to publish my survey. When I change the questions to "read-only" the white input box disappears. Has anyone encountered this issue? How can I resolve this?

Please see the attachement, you'll notice the box is missing from the first three questions.

Not an issue. That is expected behaviour.

The "white box" is still there. If you add something to the [calculate] or [default] field, you will see it appears where the text input normally is.

And "yes", it is normal for different input to handle "read-only" differently. E.g., [Text] inputs will remove the input field, while [select_one] will still show the input field but be greyed out. No way change that behaviour, unfortunately.

I tried adding a default values but it still doesnt't make a difference. I was hoping to see a greyed out box but it just disappears.

Nope. No greyed out box. Honestly, I also wish it was there as that would just look nicer.

... all that said, I put a little more thought into this, and may actually have a solution/workaround!

Use a multiline text field, set it to readonly, and specify a height:

haha that's great. It's funny cause I did play with the multiline option but wasn't sure about the height settings. Good to know and thank you!
