Allow User to Expand the Text Box for Customize Messages in Automations

Rx4PSO · 09/13/23

Please add the ability to expand the text box when writing text for a customized message that is part of an automation. In most software, this means an option to click on the bottom right corner of the box and drag it out to expand it. It is helpful to see the entire message when drafting it, and later when reviewing or editing an automation.

I would love to see the ability to enlarge the box where you put in customized comments for automations. I use this frequently and have several different types of messages. The feature works well, but it would be nice if I could expand the size of the box to be able to see everything in one view rather than scrolling. It would also be helpful when editing content in that box because it is very difficult to highlight and scroll to the exact part of the text needed to edit.

The vertical size of the message window in the Automation dialogue box borders on unusable. The vertical size needs to double. 4.5 rows is not enough to see enough of the message in context nor scroll effectively. This should be an easy adjustment to the "# of lines" in your code.

This is maybe the thing I've had the most issue with while working in Smartsheet for a year and a half. Why is this box SO TINY? It is impossibly small. I have large monitors and can see at most 4 lines at a time! Please please let us open this box in a modal or expand it in some way! It is insanely frustrating to make edits, especially if we're making a lot of changes to a lot of emails!

I agree, we have multiple automations, with similar text and minor adjustments and the size of the box makes it difficult to identify any additional updates needed to be made. Usually I need to copy/paste test somewhere else to see the whole message to make sure I caught everything.

This would be so helpful. Or even to have it pop out in to a Edit window with the ability to 'Save as a Draft'. In addition make the selection list for specific fields more user friendly.
