Add Rows to UI for Longtext

I am adding a LongText to a from for my user to be bale to type in a paragraph. By default the LongText is only one row. My users will not knwo they can submit multi lines or long text.

is there a way by default that the input should be 4 rows long?

You could add an initial value of that long text field as such as below.

Hope you are aware that initial value is just a placeholder and it can be overwritten by the user.

The expression is

CONCATENATE(" You can enter four lines in this description", "
"," You can enter four lines in this description", "
"," You can enter four lines in this description", "
"," You can enter four lines in this description")

 

Alternatively you could simply enter blanks in the concatenate so the field looks like below

Concatenate expression for initial value. It use special blank space characters that are available on the internet on some sites.

CONCATENATE("                        ", "
","                        ", "
","                        ", "
","                        ")

 

That does work, but then when the user clicks into the field to start typing the cursor is set to wherever they clicked, not at the start on the input. 

I believe that should not matter. The field should save  whatever the user has typed in. 

Are you facing any particular issues?
