HI @catethos! Welcome to the Streamit community! :star2:

There is currently no way to set the height of a text_area widget. I have submitted a feature request for you.

Please free free to submit your own feature requests in the future! :slight_smile:

Hi @Adrien_Treuille
I am sorry for posting here, but I thought It’s kinda related.

Is there a way to limit the number of characters in a text area? Let’s say, I want user to be able to test the app on 2000 characters for example. Is this possible? I searched the API documentation, but couldn’t find anything. If not, can you please add this as a feature? Letting users enter any number of characters in the text area is an overkill and it will cause huge load on the server. Please let me know what you think.

Thanks again for your support and the amazing framework.

So I believe this can be marked as fixed as height can now be amended? :slight_smile:
