Multiple Lines Using Power App
Hello,
Likely a simple one
I have designed a form in power apps for my sharepoint list but when it comes to entering information into the multiple lines field, it just types and types as one line and unable to tab\enter to a new line
I suspect you are using the modern text box. Make sure in the properties pane you set the behavior mode to Multiline:

Another feature that does not automatically replicate from SharePoint list field to power apps hehe. Multiline was set in SharePoint list but doesn't seem to transfer it to Power apps and changes it to a single line. So this worked as a solution. Thanks!
Ensure the Text Input Control is set to MultiLine:
Select the control.
In the properties pane or formula bar, set:TextInput.Mode = TextMode.MultiLine
This allows pressing Enter to create a new line.
Note: The Tab key will not insert a tab space—it moves focus to the next control, which is expected behavior in Power Apps.-----------------------------------------------------
Optional: Use Rich Text Editor Control
If you want more formatting options (bold, bullet points, etc.), you can replace the standard text input with a Rich Text Editor.
This works well with SharePoint fields set to Rich Text (Enhanced).
