I have a workflow variable in NINTEX Workflow 2010 with a Multiple Lines of Text field for containing the body of an email message.  When I modify the workflow to edit the content of the variable, the configure action dialog only shows a single line text box for the value.  I cannot see the whole of the text, and I cannot scroll with the arrow keys since the cursor jumps all the way to the bottom or top of the field.  I can use the mouse on the arrows in the 'scroll bar' of the box, but when I try to change something, I cannot add new line characters.

See the attachment.  There is only one line for editing the multi line value.

unfortunately that's by design.

one of plenty annoyances we have to live with

Yep - very annoying....

Indeed. However, I recommend using "Build String" action to set multi text variables as if offers you multiple lines for editing.

Hi Randolph Baker‌, you may be disappointed with these answers. unfortunatelly that's the fact

there was a request for this functionality on uservoice risen by , but nintex recently rejected it
