Hi, im using several multi line text fields in my forms. These are displayed in another form using the calculated field.  However there is a large variation in the amount of input text wich result in large areas of white space if I give that field the larges space the user can input
 

Does any one know about a way to dynamically size a displayed calculated field?

I would appreciate any help.

HI @Arnie0071 ,

 

Unfortunately I do not think there is anything that can be done about this issue.  This is expected behaviour for this control.

@Arnie0071 

Do you see the same issue with both classic and responsive forms?

Hi MillaZ

 

I currently use a calculated field to display te contents of a SharePoint field value. However due to a wide variative in the contents of this field, user input varies, it currently results a al large amount of white space when there is only a small amount of text do display.  Because this happens multiple times in the form it is kind of annoying. DO you now of any way or trick to dynamically size the display of a SharePoint field value. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Ive added two screen shots in one attachment above is the resulted form and below the designer screenschot.
