Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the saved multiline-field case on Android or iOS and trace the form's reopen/render path, comparing it with the layout after tapping the field. Done means the saved form opens with the multiline field correctly sized and its full content visible without interaction.

Description

bug forms ui/ux

Description
When a feature containing a multiline field with a large amount of text or many rows is saved, reopening the feature form is in an inconsistent form layout. The form does not render correctly on open. The user is required to tap on the form field to trigger it to expand and display correctly.
Project: tester-ws-1 / tc05_forms_widgets

Environment
[x] Staging [x] PROD

Application (+ app version, build, operating system)

Device: Samsung Galaxy A53 5G, Android 15
App version: 2026.3.0 - 833251
Device: IPhone 15 / iOS 26
App version: 2026.3.0 - 26.7.927411

Steps to reproduce

Open a project tester-ws-1 / tc05_forms_widgets_ containing a layer with a Multiline
Create a new feature and enter a large amount of text or many rows in the multiline field.
Save the feature.
Tap on the saved feature to open the preview form
Observe the multiline field layout when the form opens.

Actual results

The feature form opens with an inconsistent layout — the multiline field is not rendered correctly and appears collapsed or incorrectly sized.
The user must tap on the multiline field to trigger it to display the content properly.

Expected results
The feature form should open with the multiline field fully rendered and correctly sized, displaying all saved content without requiring any additional tap or interaction from the user.
