Hello i have a form and on one of it's datacard i have a text input for a multi-line text.

My plan is to increase it's height depending on the text length. I tried doing this but this workaround doesn't seem to work on my end:

Use a Label for displaying text.
Set Label Visible property to false
Set the Text property of the Label to (TextInput1.Text).
Set the Label's AutoHeight property to true.
Set the height property of the Text Input to match the height of the Label.

Please provide some alternate workaround in order to increase the height of a multi-line text input

Thanks,

can confirm the same behaviour, if you set the label to hidden its height doesnt update. if the label is visible it works fine. A workaround to make this workaround work, is move the label off your canvas 🙂

Oh, and to stop your Text input shrinking too much when there is no text in it, change the label Text field to something like this:
If(IsBlank(TextInput1.Text), "Placeholder Text", TextInput1.Text )

Thanks this worked well for me, instead of just moving the label out of the canvas I just made the text color of the label to Transparent so it can't be seen.
