Hello,

Is there a way to wrap the text in a drop down? My text is cut off and I would rather have the drop down be two lines vs wider. Thanks!

Hi Tiffany,

This is a limitation of web browsers. The element that acts as the dropdown cannot display multiple lines, similarly a single line field cannot either.

A workaround is to add a multi-line field below it and use the field calculations to make it equal the dropdown field. Add the following to the multi-line field, replacing "Drop_down" in the below screenshot with whatever your dropdown variable is:

The drop down field only can be displayed as single line. The current workaround is to set the form width to be wider and set the field width to be maximum. Would adding tooltip for the full text for the cutoff text work for you?
