I want to increase the view-able size of a text window for CB field in edit view mode. The window is currently limited to about 40 characters, despite the fact that the text is much more than this. It makes editing very difficult. Changing settings in field management makes no difference
Using CB1.9.1 but planning to change to 2.x
thanks in anticipation
Edit your field and adjust the "Size" parameter. This will change the inputs size attribute to make it larger or smaller as needed. If its size doesn't change then it's likely some CSS is forcing a size on it.

Then there's probably CSS forcing a size. Right click and click inspect element on the input to open the developer console then review the inputs CSS to see what could be forcing a "width" style on it.

Changing the 'size' parameter only changes the width?
Before we migrated to the latest version of Joomla, we had a larger multiline 'Comments' box, only visible to our membership administrators on the backend, where our membership administration could add notes on manual changes to a member's entry.
It is linked to a 'cb_comment' field in CBSubs
Inspecting that text box's CSS( in Chrome) points to class="form-control"
In the .cb_template .form_control in a number of places the height is fixed '34px'.
Changing that manually to 68px changes all of the profile text boxes.
I assume we would have to construct a custom profile CSS 'cb_comments' edit box in Bootstrap somewhere?
Or are we going about this the wrong way and there is a better built-in alternative in CB/CB Subs.
