Hi, I wonder if it is possible to increase the height of reply box by standard? I know that it is possible to increase the height by dragging the box upwards and that it will automatically remember that til next reply but I am curious as to if it is possible to increase the height a bit by standard?

Is there some component, HTML/CSS that would be possible to increase the height by default of the reply box? Best regards Olle

You could just add the css that would increase it. Chrome now has an ai assistant that will likely help you figure out what to add them you can just create a theme component in the ux and paste in a couple lines of css. But you should ignore what I said.
