Its hard to say whether I am picturing your scenario properly without any screenshot, but in general, you can do this.

Place a Text Input on your form with the desired size. Then change the DisplayMode to this.

DisplayMode.View

Put your reference to the text you want to show in the Text property. Then you will be able to scroll through it!

Hi @mdevaney
Thanks for your reply. I can do that OK. Its about real estate on the screen. I have 5 text areas and they could be large paragraphs of text required. I want the user to click onto an edit icon, navigate to a new screen where that text box fill the entire screen, then update that new edit version to the text box on the main form. I dreamed last night I need to use a variable then update and if so could you give me an example?
Thanks so much

Hi @mdevaney
I am stuck on this although it seems simple enough. So I have a form with multiple edit areas. "StudentReportEditForm" Datasource is "StudentReport"

I want to click on the Edit Icon next to the Health label on the "StudentReportEditForm" and open up a new screen with the Health Input box covering the entire screen (see images)

I have looked at setting a variable OnSelect "Set(varReportInfo, ThisItem)"
On the HealthEdit screen set card Default to "varReportInfo.Health" I cannot seem to edit the text. Is it a Collection I am after and then patch back to the "StudentReportEditForm" and "StudentReport"?
