Can you modify the custom field size?

Question

Can you modify the custom field size, for text?  For example, can you have the text wrap, like in Excel?  It would be nice to have it wrap so you can see the details.  It looks like the only way to see the entire text is to hover over the field.

I am trying to clearly define what needs to be entered into a card and having custom fields seems the best way.  Otherwise it appears that I would have to create some sort of template that you would use in the project description area.

I believe I have the custom fields power-up enabled.

Thanks - Shannon

Still no update on this since 2019?  This makes the text box completely useless if you can't see everything that is written...  Or add option to make additional description boxes, as they have word wraps.

We have to allow for 3 separate text boxes for notes from 3 different people

Same issue here. Makes this text box useless if you can't write more then a couple words before the disappear outside the box.

On mobile it shows the full text perfectly.

On desktop it is hidden and useless.

Please add a word wrap or some way to show the full comment. (When you are writing it and when it is saved).
