I would like to be able to have 2 lines of text for the ‘Title’ field on a signed document. I am entering the Title as Pre-filled Text but without the ability to have a second line, some employees job titles are too long?

    👋 Hi ​@John F, welcome to the Box Community!


    The standard Title field is a single-line field and does not support multi-line text entry. However, you can achieve your goal of having a 2-line Title field by using a Text Input field instead of the default Title field.


    Here is how you can set this up:

    1. Add a Text Input field: During document preparation, drag and drop a Text Input field onto your document instead of the dedicated Title field.
    2. Enable Multiple Lines: Click on the newly added Text Input field to open its settings panel on the right, and toggle on the Allow Multiple Lines option. This will allow the text to wrap and span across multiple lines.
    3. Pre-fill the Text: You can still use the Pre-filled Text option within this Text Input field’s settings to prepopulate the long job titles for your employees.
       

    Important note on template tags:

    If you are creating templates using inline tags, you can define a multi-line text field by adding the multi-line parameter (|m:1) to a text tag. For example:
    [[t|1|m:1|id:job_title]] (where t represents a text field, 1 is the signer, and m:1 enables multiple lines). Note that text input validation tags cannot be combined with multi-line fields.


    Hope this helps! Please reach out if you have any other questions.
