I have a few merge fields on a contract that I want to fit between other words in a paragraph. But when the information from Salesforce is too long for the text box it overlaps the following words in the contract, blocking the signers view of those words. I wanted to know if there is any functionality where the text continues but must be clicked on to view. Sort of like a cell in excel?
Thank You.
If you login to DocuSign and edit your merge field, you can set it to a fixed width under the 'Formatting' section on the right. This should lock the length of the text field, but it won't allow any more text into the field.

I often have lots of data in spreadsheet cells but I don't necessarily want all the text to show in the cell as long as I can edit it in the formula bar.
So, for instance, I'd like to have the text "this text is a long sentence" in a cell but only display "this text is..." but if I click on the cell, the whole content displays in the formula bar so I can edit it.
I know that this relies on custom display formats but I can't find a way of making this work. There doesn't seem to be a placeholder for a single character, only the whole string (#).
EDIT
This is a link to the sheet ...

Can anyone help?
I am using QuickDialog to create a form in my iOS app. For one of the items that I am asking users about, I would prefer a multi-line text field as it's an open-ended question (e.g., do you have any questions?). QEntryElement only has a single line, and the space to type is pretty small on an iPhone. Any suggestions for how to do a larger text entry space using QuickDialog?
Instead of QEntryElement, use QMultilineElement. It works exactly the same way - the only problem being that QMultilineElement does not display what the user entered on the main form screen.
My aim is to have text boxes - a set amount per level for people to guess a hidden word. I don't want the UITextfield to be tapped and then bring up the keyboard, I'd like to have a different button that brings up the keyboard - if that's possible.
If each box is a separate text field how could I go about entering text. When a user types on the standard apple keypad, how could each character be inputted into a certain text field. I'd preferably like the text to show in the box as soon as a key is tapped.
I'm also having trouble clearing certain letters. Say a user mis-spells something and doesn't realise until the keyboard has resigned as first responder, how could I make it so that a user can tap on maybe two boxes if the rest of the word is spelt right and the program clear it?
Is there any way of writing the program so that it inputs text only if the text field is empty? Continuing with the example above they switch two letters, they tap to clear, they then bring up the keypad and the next key then pressed fills the empty boxes. Not allowing the program to input text in a used text field that only contains a single character?
I'm using Cocos2d - I don't know if that makes a difference. I hope you understand what I mean, although I'm rather bad at explaining.
Thank you in advance for your time and any help :).
Instead of having a textbox that you don't want users to edit, why not use a label?
To show the keyboard, you need to have it linked to some UITextField (or similar). You could use an invisible UITextField, and then monitor the input and send the characters to the correspinding labels. Refer to this question.
To check if a textfield has anything in it:
[textField.text length] > 0, but I would use labels instead of textfields.
I dont really understand the other parts of your question.
I have a text area that has names within the default value. For example the textarea reads..
(dynamic registrant name) just registered to become
a donor in (dynamic from pull-down above)
honor. This text is editable
So in the same form I have an input that asks the user for their name and a select box where they can choose among a selections of names. I am trying to change the names within the text area based on the values they enter in the input and drop-down fields above the text area. Can someone help with this? I am completely stuck. I have read through some of the forums here and it looks like a lot of the solutions are to use ajax. I have zero experience in ajax and would like to find a solution that does not use that...is it possible? Or could someone help with a solution?
I don't think textarea is what you want exactly. What if the user takes off the (dynamic from pull-down above) part? How would you know where to put the text at? Even if you somehow could, I suggest you make regular text input elements for contents that the user can change and put the other dynamically changing text as uneditable html text elements (or however you want to format them).
Is it possible to increase the length of the Title column for a site above the 255 characters.
My requirement is that I use a field that is longer than the maximum 255 chars but because the Title column is a required field I need to enter something in it. Rather than enter garbage just because I have to, I would like to use it. If not, then my current thoughts for a workaround will be make a copy of the first 255 chars of a seperate column that I am able to make longer.
The Title column is special. Aside from changing the Display Name there's not much you can do with it. While the Title field isn't used as the database key for the row, it is a logical key when thinking of an item. It should be short and concise. The Title field has the additional functionality of the context menu (Delete, Save Copy, any custom actions, etc.) Having the Title column be quite large could make the UI hard to view. Some users might want to make a custom view without that column pushing the row size too high. In that case, they won't have access to the context menu for that item.
