Text wrapping for UI_INFIELD

Is there a way to make the text wrap in a UI_INFIELD box? If not, this would be a nice feature to add.

It is weird how the manual says you can control the width and height of an infield but whatever size you give the height doesn't make any difference at all as far as I can see.

I'm trying to give a nice interface to a Zone so we can enter Room Data Sheet information and having a multi line field would be much easier to use but I haven't as yet found a work around

Hi, just bumping this post - does anyone know a solution to this in AC19 onwards?

We need users to type a paragraph of text in an object, which is really annoying to edit in a single line...

I asked this very same question a few months ago on GLD Center.

Unfortunately it is still not possible.
