How to Expand Multi-Line Text Box Field in SP Display Form List w/o invoking PowerApps error message
How can I increase the height of a multi-line text box field in the modern version of the SharePoint online display form in a SharePoint list without using PowerApps>customize form? When I use PowerA...
Article kind of showing the SharePoint Designer with similar error, it's why I was asking if it was migrated or older site cause that's last time I seen that happen: https://o365knowledgeshare.wordpress.com/2018/10/16/sharepoint-online-list-error-unable-to-find-the-default-display-form-for-list/
- Hi Chris, thanks for the quick reply. Yes, it was originally SharePoint 2013 and we constructed a new SharePoint Online site and migrated the content over at the beginning of this year. It shows that error message when a line item is clicked even before the form can be filled out. Thanks for sharing that SPD article, I've tried fixing it in SPD, but it won't allow me to recreate the display form. Ultimately, I've created a new list template and migrated the content from the old list template to the new one, but my expanded text boxes are gone (since it was a version of the Custom Form created in PowerApp). Any ideas of how to expand the text boxes again without populating that error message?
- You need to get rid of the error first. But if don't use powerapps, does the SharePoint form work just without expanded box?
- Hi Chris, I found a solution! The only way to fix it is to manually recreate all the columns and views in a new list and migrate the content from the old/broken list into the new list. When you use PowerApps > Customize Forms in the new list, the error message doesn’t appear. Thanks for your help!
