Text Area Field, unable to drag and expand

English Language - Forum SuiteCRM Themes

Noticed that Text Area Fields in editview do not have the click and drag to expand feature meaning that you cannot make the Text Area field bigger or smaller.

In studio, the default size of the box is 4 rows by 20 columns but even with this setting in editview the Text Area field is the standard Text field size.

This makes typing and viewing a short note difficult as you cannot see the entire entry until after you save it and view it in detailview.

attached is a picture with the default description field and the default address field both of which are Text Area fields, but the only the address field is expandable in editview.

Are you sure that’s a Data Type: Text Area? Because I just tested in my test SuiteCRM 7.2.1 and it’s working the resize feature. Maybe you’re using Data Type: Text Field

100% positive

Here is a screenshot from studio that shows the field Type.

There are no errors on the edit page, however, I noticed input it is reading as a “text” field not a textarea, see picture #2.

I have checked with Both Suite7 and SuiteR theme and they are the displaying the same result. I’m Running 7.2.1 on LAMP (php 5.5), Started with a fresh 7.2 install.

I do have another 7.2.1 instance running on another server and the big difference between the 2 installs is that this install was a SugarCRM 6.5.20 conversion to 7.2 then to 7.2.1 and the text area’s are responding correctly.

mikebeck, is your SuiteCRM instance a fresh install or is a converted SugarCRM instance?

Thanks

My system it’s a fresh install of 7.2.1 just for testing stuff. What Module is that? is it custom? I’ve tested with stock modules and custom modules all resizing is working with text areas.

The module I have been taking screen shots of are from the Leads module. The Textarea showing as a text field is the default description field.

This is not showing in the developer tools as an error,but I don’t see this message in the in my other instance where the textarea field is working. I have this message on almost every page when viewing in edit view, not sure if this is realted…

My leads module doesn’t look like your screenshots, have you done some modifications? what SuiteCRM version and theme are you using?

This is 7.2.1 with SuiteR Theme, I did change the Editview and Detailview layouts in studio that is why it looks different, but that is all.

Maybe that’s the problem, there’s something in your modifications that broke the Area resize feature, I don’t know what can be.
