Hey all,
 
I need your help!
 
I have a requirement where user must be able to edit the text input control and save the data after leaving the field. The requirements are like this
  1. The gallery with table like structure 
  2. Multiline Text Input control to edit and auto save the changes
  3. No pop up window or form for editing the values
  4. Should extend the row size according to the text size
The Issue is…
  1. The Text input has no auto hight property which is making hard for increasing the template size 
  2. Use of label for editing won’t work as they don’t save the data
  3. Using label to show text and popping up text input to edit the data is not the requirement.
Could you please help me to resolve this or any suggestion would be really great!
 
Thank you in advance!

    Use a Flexible height gallery so the row can change size.
    Inside the template, place a multiline Text Input; behind it (or off‑screen), place a Label with AutoHeight = true whose Text = TextInput.Text, same Width/Font/Size. Then set the input’s Height = Max(40, Label.Height + padding)
    Set the gallery’s TemplateSize (or a container Height) to a value that references the input’s Height (e.g., tiNotes.Y + tiNotes.Height + 12)
    For auto‑save when the user leaves the field, use TextInput.OnChange with a Patch/UpdateIf
