Upload Wizard Campaign custom field length should be able to be multiline
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Upload Wizard Campaign custom field length should be adequate. Now when maxLength is set to a high value it is extremely uncomfortable to put a lot of text into a tiny input type="text" field.
It should be solved by either of ways like:

  • When the text input into a text field is longer than the default field width it should became longer and turn into multiline textarea on reaching end of the window.
  • There should be a way to manually set its type to a textarea in the very campaign page
  • It should be rendered as a textarea to begin with if maxLength is longer than some not very big value

(the list of possible solutions is not full and any other could be applied)

For what it's worth, we would really like to be able to use textarea for http://www.wikisciencecompetition.org/ (in case this is a quick fix and someone is willing to implement it before the start of the competition in November)
