How to use Text Areas in Text Entry/Form?


I have a Text Entry type question, which I have selected "form" for the "Text Type".
In the editor, I am shown TextArea type fields, where the text boxes can be resized. However, in the actual survey, in both preview and live versions, the textboxes are simple "input" fields and not "TextArea" fields.

This seems like a bug. Is there any way I can fix this myself?

On selecting the text entry form type question - select "Click here to edit form fields" then change the size from medium to Essay and then when you resize the box in question it will be reflected in preview.

Hmm, I have multiple form text fields, so this will not work. This only works when I have a single form text field.

EDIT: fixed! Thank you! I needed to select "form" and then in the actual question, I need to click that "Click here to edit form fields" - I did not originally see that link as I was expecting it to appear on the menu on the right.
