I created a free-form text-entry question. When I preview and begin typing the response, the rest of the sentence disappears. How do I keep that from happening?
Thanks for reaching out! It sounds like as you're typing your sentence, you see the initial text disappear? For example, this?
If that's the case, all you need to do is increase the size of the text-entry box. If this isn't what you're seeing, feel free to share a screenshot of what you're running into, and we'll go from there!
That wasn't it - I figured out I was putting all of the text in what is the text entry field. I figured out a workaround putting a separate text box within the text entry field. Is there another way to accomplish this? It was a pain to align them correctly so they looked like they were part of the same sentence.
Thanks for providing that screenshot and giving me a better idea of what you're running into. I've recorded a quick video of one alternative you can try. Take a look and see if it helps!
