How to enable multi line for Text Input control

I added a Text Input control and found out that text can only be entered in 1 line and the cursor starts only in the middle of the control.

There doesn't seem to be any multiline property or property to set the location of the cursor e.g. top left instead of the middle.

 

Is there a way to enable the cursor to start at the top left and for multi-line to be enabled?

    Click on the text input, and on the Text input properties, change the "Mode" from "Single line" to "Multiline".

    Look for "Mode" property on the text input. Should have the option to be "Multiline"
