Enhanced Rich Text, or Rich text fields

[Paul Lynch]

For multiple lines of text columns in DFFS, can we enhance it?

Standard field types are:

Plain text
Rich text (Bold, italics, text alignment, hyperlinks)
Enhanced rich text (Rich text with pictures, tables, and hyperlinks

Plain text seems to place a box that can be dragged (expanded). The other second two options do not seem to do much in DFFS.

Would like to be able to see a mini ribbon and vertical scroll bar (to add strike throughts/bold).

Can only add a scroll bar for a plain text field using some css like overflow:scroll; but this does not work for rich or enhanced text.

Any ideas?

My dynamic form version is below (latest).

Sorry for some reason I forgot the ribbon is at the top of the page! But a scroll bar would be nice, if we could fix the size of the box, as there might be fields under neath the multi line text field.

Hi,
Rich text fields sould auto-grow in SharePoint, but if you need to add a max-height to have scrollbars you can add this to your Custom CSS:

.ms-rtestate-write{
    max-height:400px;
    overflow:auto;
}

This is tested in SPO on a enhanced rich text field – if it does not work, right click and select “Inspect” on the multiline > find the div tag that wraps the content > use the ID or the class to identify the field and modify the CSS snippet above.
