Automatically resize text box to fit text variables?
Hi KellyAuner This does not work if the text is a variable. It makes the height the size of the initial variable value and then makes the variable text smaller to fit if the variable is longer than the initial value. If the variable is longer than the initial value it gives it big margins instead of adjusting the height.
Hi Vic!
Thanks for clarifying!
That's correct. With Variable Text, the “Expand height” auto-fit option behaves differently than with static text. Currently, Storyline does not support dynamically resizing a Text Box to match the changing length of a Variable while keeping margins, outline, and shadows consistent. I do understand having this level of functionality could improve your authoring experience. I've shared this feedback with our product team!
We have a lot of Javascript gurus here in the community. I'm hopeful they can share custom design solutions that worked for them!
