Gravity Perks Expand Textareas

Textareas in the Gravity Forms form editor can feel cramped when you are working with a lot of content. A long HTML block, a calculation formula or a post body template is hard to read and edit in a small box. Gravity Perks Expand Textareas solves this by opening the textarea in a larger modal window, so you can see and change more of your content at once.

The plugin is built for WordPress administrators and form creators who spend time inside the form editor. It is set up by default for the fields that benefit most from extra space, and you can configure it to expand any textarea in the editor. It can also open the modal automatically when you focus on a textarea, which removes an extra click. It is part of the Gravity Perks family and works within Gravity Forms.

Features

• Larger modal editing window: Opens a textarea in the form editor inside an expanded modal window, which makes long or complex content easier to read and edit.
• Automatic expansion on focus: The expanded modal can launch as soon as a textarea gains focus, so you reach the larger editor without any extra clicks.
• HTML content support: Works out of the box with HTML content settings, giving you more room to write and review markup inside your forms.
• Calculation formula support: Calculation formulas can be edited in the expanded window, which helps when a formula runs long and needs careful reading.
• Post body content support: Post body templates are covered by default, so longer content in those settings opens in the larger view.
• Works with any textarea setting: Beyond the default fields, you can activate the expand option on any textarea-based field setting in the form editor.
• Configurable scope: Add the expand option to all textareas in your forms or limit it to the ones you choose, to match the way you work.
• Insert and save workflow: Change your content inside the modal and save it straight back to the form, with no extra steps between editing and saving.
