I’m all for textarea custom fields instead of just single line text fields. We have some custom text fields that are intended to hold paragraphs worth of writing and it’s super awkward to fill them out when your cursor keeps scrolling to the right, making it so you can only see 100-200 characters of what you just wrote.
