Question

Is it possible to Expand the Size of the 'Other' field within a checkbox set?

asked on January 17, 2018

I have a process that allows employees to enter information in an other checkbox field, but when looking at the history (without having been assigned a task) the information is cut off. For example:

Is there some CSS that I can use to expand this? I can modify the process to assign a task to the person that is having this issue so that field opens up for them, but that would be a step backwards in streamlining this process.

Thanks,

Try this

.otherchoice {
 
  width: 400px !important;
  
}

Try this in the CSS section. Play around with the width and see if you get any results.

.otherchoice {
 
  max-width: 400px;
  
}

Thanks for the response. The form doesn't seem to like that. I tried various sizes, but it won't change. Any other suggestions?

The class = otherchoice. The second CSS did the trick! Off hand, do you know the CSS to make the other field a multi-line? I have the width set at 500px, but if I go any larger it starts to push off the page.

One option would be to simply hide the "Other" textbox and add a multi-line field. Then add a Field Rule that displays the multi-line field when the "Other" checkbox is checked.

.otherchoice {
  visibility: hidden;
}
