Hello. Any point of view about this @bradt, @mattgrshaw ?

Hi @MarceloPedra, sorry for the delay. We don't have any plans to change the text inputs over to text areas at this time.

MarceloPedra commented 7 years ago

ok, sorry to hear that.

Anyway, I'd like to ask: how would you recommend to proceed when one have to replace large text blocks with line breaks? The current input fields won't support that. The textareas worked well really great in my tests to handle replacement of strings with line breaks.

A good solution will be welcomed. Best regards
