I am working on an app based on a SharePoint list. I started with the default "Create an app" in SharePoint and am using a single screen for the View/Edit/New form. My form has a lot of text fields and many can have a lot of information in them, so we need to be able to see all the text in the box without a scroll bar. After much Googling and tries, I kind of have it working most of the time, my problem is that I added a text box below the text input with instructions for what to put in the box. The problem is when typing along, once you get about three or four lines in the text input, it passes the text box with instructions and shows those in the middle of what's being entered. How do I set it so the text box remains below the text input?

Hi @JeanL,

Since the textbox expands once you need more space to write, you will have to define the label's Y property dynamically instead of having a hardcoded number.

Try to implement the following code in the Y property of that label:
//Change'TextInputName' to the actual name TextInputName.Height + TextInputName.Y
In this case, the label will move down once the TextInput requires more space.

If this solves your question, would you be so kind as to accept it as a solution.
Thanks!

@LaurensM

Thank you so much! Worked perfectly. Now off to repeat that in about 20 other inputs.
