Multi Line

Learn about Multi Line attribute.

Use this attribute to display a field as a multi-line field.

Note: Fields defined as more than 256 characters in the data model are automatically displayed as multi-line fields unless a contrasting field attribute is set.

Enter the number of lines as parameter, e.g. Multi Line = 3. To allow users to comfortably view the entire field contents even if the number of visible lines is exceeded, you can specify additional parameters as JSON, e.g. Multi Line = {lines: 3, allowExpand: true, expanded: true}.
