Instructions

✍️ To begin, add the "Custom Text Input" element to your mobile page from the "Visual Elements" section of the Bubble editor.
↔️ The element is fully responsive. In multiline mode, it will automatically adjust its height to fit the content while respecting the "Min height" and "Max height" properties you set in the Layout tab.

✨ All customization options are available in the element inspector. Every property is fully documented to guide you. Use the element's exposed states and actions in your workflows to build your desired logic.

Thank you Steve for the amazing support
Doesn't move with the keyboard

This doesn’t work when used inside a bottom floating group. It doesn’t move up with the keyboard, so it remains hidden behind it.
Works perfectly
