Blank first line in vLookup multiline text

[Phil Grant]

I have a strange issue with the display of the vLookup rows in my parent form.
The field is a multiline text and when shown on the parent form there is always a blank line at the top, I set the multiline to multiline with 1 line but then the entries in the parent form look blank, I’m assuming it’s the blank line showing?

I then set the field to a single line of text but is there another way to use multiline and not get the blank line at the top?

Not 100% sure this is it, but if you are using a rich text editor, it’s most likely SharePoint that adds style to the P element. Inspect it with the developer tools and see what the whitespace is. If it is the P-tag style, just override it in the custom css.

Thanks for that, you’re spot on … how do I override it though?
I’ve had a google on what to do but most people say it can’t be done in CSS!

Try adding this to the Custom CSS in the form where you show the vLookup column:

.childTableCell p{
    margin-top:0;
}
