Can we get Rich Line Text data entry pane to be larger, or grow as you add content?

Topic summary

A user is requesting an improvement to Shopify’s Rich Text field data entry interface.

The issue: When replacing a Multi Line Text field with a Rich Text field, the entry pane displays only 6 lines of content and does not expand automatically.

Previous behavior: The Multi Line Text field would expand up to 20 lines as content was added.

Requested feature: Make the Rich Text entry window expand dynamically as more content is entered (beyond 6 lines) to improve visibility and reduce the likelihood of missing errors during data entry.

The user is unsure of the proper channel for feature requests and is posting this suggestion directly to the Shopify community.

I am trying to update my website to include Rich Text field for one data set. It is replacing my Multi Line Text field I have been using to date, but when entering data it shows only 6 lines of content, where as Multi Line Text expended as you exceeded those lines to 20 lines.

Shopify - I don’t know where to ask for this so here it is! Please make that window expand as you enter more than 6 lines of data so visibility of my content is faster and less likely to miss errors. Thanks
