Can Editable Text Boxes grow to match the size of the user input

Post by ae »

We have reports with editable text boxes on them where the User may enter information they need to communicate to the recipient of the report.

We would like to know if there is away to setup these text boxes such that they would grow to contain all the data the user enters. At the moment they truncate the information entered into the box. Although we could make all the editable text boxes larger, that does not really suit the report when they are not all used.

E.g. If If have an editable text box that is 4 lines high but the user enters 6 lines of text, the last two lines will not show on the rendered report.
Is there someway to overcome this?

Thanks,
Andrew

Hello,

Editing field is already rendered in the report, and for changing the field sizes the report should be re-rendered again.
Theoretically it is possible, but unfortunately, on the current moment, there is no ready elegant solution for this task.

Thank you.
