    How do you increase the field size of the custom fields to be able to contain all the character inputs.

    Hi, Agamax79

    Thanks for reaching out to us

    -

    We don't have a built-in option to change the custom field size, but it can be done with some custom CSS.

    Here is an example for the old Step By Step Form.

    If you place a Text Field, you will have to "scroll to the side", in order to see all the text;

    but if we use a Text Area, we get a vertical scroll.

    I will focus on Text Area this time:

    Now, if i add this custom CSS to the WP page, i can set the minimum height value of this HTML container of the custom field of Text Area :

    textarea.el-textarea__inner {
        min-height: 400px;
    }

    Then the Text area becomes much larger, as you can see.

    If you wish  to try that,

    Custom code needs to be applied to the page where the booking form is. Depending on what you're using (Gutenberg blocks, or some page builder), adding the CSS or JS can be done in a few different ways. 

    If you need help with adding custom CSS to the page, please take a look at this article.

    And of course, you can change the height value, as you need.

    For the other field type, the Text Field, even if i try to increase the height, it does not help, since it has that "horizontal scroll" :

    So i would suggest if you can try to add a Text Area, and try to add this custom CSS to the page :

    Let me know if that helps, or if you need something else perhaps.smile.png

    And if you wish to see a built-in option to set custom field height,
