Configure Field and Line Sizes for Custom Block Properties
You can make property fields be
Multi-Line Input Fields. You can also set
Field Width and Height for custom block properties.
Multi-Line Input Fields
By default, the block property fields for macro input parameters are a single-line entry field. You can change this to a multi-line field using the macro metadata element <type> with a datatype of
textarea in <parameter>.
For example:
Field Width and Height
By default, Wires sets the width for block property fields to fill the width of the current Block Properties pane. See for an example.

Note: | The <uiconfig> element contains a configuration object in JSON (Javascript Object Notation) format. Typically, you should enclose this in a CDATA section to ensure there are no conflicts between the JSON and XML syntaxes. |

The metadata would look something like this:
For a multi-line block property, you can set both height and width:
The metadata would look something like this:
