The subject is worded poorly, but here's the question anyway.
I have a powerapp with a form. One of the text fields in the form occasionally requires a user to submit a fairly sizeable chunk of text. I would like to integrate a button in my form that users can click on to open up a larger screen-sized text input field. See the image below for an indication of what I mean.
The user should be able to either a) fill in the Protokoll right there in the form, or b) click on the 'Edit' button and fill in the Protokoll in a separate and larger text field. I can put together a pop-up window fairly easily and integrate it with the edit button. The problem I have is integrating the form on the base screen with the form in the pop-up window. And I have the feeling that I am going at this the wrong way.
To put the whole thing rather simply: The text field in the form is too small. I can change the mode of the text field to multiple lines and increase the size of the box, but my boss doesn't like that. So then, is there a way to fill out the text field in some separate and larger text field that I can navigate too through the click of a button? Or again, is there some other way of fulfilling this requirement that I am not thinking of?
Best,

editTextand your button OnSelect to
UpdateContext({editVis:true, editText:DataCardValue1.Text})place a text input control OUTSIDE the form and above it. Set it's visibility to
editVisand it's default to
editTextalso place an icon above it, or a button, your preference with the visibility of
editVisand an OnSelect of
UpdateContext({editVis:false,editText:TextInput1.Text})
