Hi Lars,

Thanks but those are the exact settings i have for the data element. I cleared 
my cache and re-opened the form and it's the same tiny box staring at me. I 
even tried setting the text width to a number say 100 within the form designer 
and still no effect.
I am using DHIS2 2.12 build 11183 on a cloud (BAO systems) hosting service. Web 
browser = Chrome.

Thanks.
John

Hi John,

please go the data dictionary module, edit data element, set value type to 
"text" and text type to "long text", then open your form. You might need to 
clear browser cache.

regards,

Lars

[Dhis2-devs] How do I expand the textbox used to hold a memo data type

[John Ojo]

Dear All,

I have a field formatted to hold DHIS2 Long Text data type so I can use it to 
capture comments (i.e. long text). 
The issue is, I want the field to display on the form as a large text area so 
it easy to see and read its entire content at a glance rather than as a tiny 
box with all its content limited to one line as it appears on the attached 
screenshot (please see the arrowed box).

Please how do I enlarge the field so that its entire contents can be viewed and 
read at a glance?
Thank you.

John
