Dropdown Fields - Wrap Text

[emmamp]

Hi everyone!

Is there any way to make a dropdown field multi-line (i.e wrap the text). I see this is possible on a text box but the option is not available for a dropdown box. Are there any work arounds?

Screenshot of options available in Properties:

Thanks

Hello emmamp,

You can force that with some JS.
E.g. if your field is called Dropdown1 you can use this

Code: Select all

this.getField("Dropdown1").setItems(["Red\nApple", "orange", "Red\nPear"]);

To get your field display these options:

I could only do it with JS, as the Combo Box Items part of the properties pane would not allow you to enter multi line entries and would display only the first lines for the above example:

Excellent, that works perfectly! Thank you

I have one more question if you are able to assist @Tracker Supp-Stefan. Is there a way to vertically centre text in a text box - without reszing the box to vertically centre it?

Hello emmamp,

Are those text box annotations or form fields?
I believe that in both the only way to do it would be to use lines placed above the text you want to center, sorry.

Kind regards,

They are form fields.

No problem, thank you!

Hello, emmamp

Unfortunately than, Stefan is correct. The only way to center text vertically in a form field is to disable text wrapping. If wrapping is enabled, the text will be top aligned at all times.

Kind regards,
