Can I change the answer field view? ​​


I noticed that on Desktop, when entering the answer into a field, I cannot see what I wrote. I’m typing and as I’m typing the text disappears on the left as my character count grows since the view only allows for one line to be seen at a time.

 

Is there a way to change the answer field size/view, so that you can see what you wrote and easily edit it if needed?

 

If not, I’d like to make that a #featurerequest.

Hey @JasminCoach 

You may need to use a Long text question instead of short text.

Long text questions will break lines, and you should see the whole answer, not just one line.

Is there a way to do this as text table format, rather than a running line?  Or is using the shift, enter for line breaks the only way?
