Gravity Perks Expand Textareas 1.1.4

Gravity Perks Expand Textareas is a WordPress plugin designed for Gravity Forms users who frequently work with long textareas in the Form Editor. Instead of editing bulky content in a cramped field, it opens an expanded editor in a modal window. This helps you read and update large HTML blocks and templates more comfortably, while keeping your workflow focused inside Gravity Forms.

The plugin adds an “Expand Textarea” button for specific textarea settings that tend to hold substantial content. When you click the button, the perk launches an enlarged textarea for easier editing, and you can confirm changes with an Insert action.

Main Features

• Modal expanded textarea — Opens a larger textarea in a pop-up modal for more comfortable editing.
• “Expand Textarea” button — Adds an explicit button below supported textarea fields in the Gravity Forms form editor.
• Enhanced HTML Content editing — Helps when updating HTML Content fields that require careful review.
• Calculation Formula textarea — Provides a bigger editor for the Formula setting in Gravity Forms calculations.
• Post Body Content Template — Makes it easier to edit long content templates used for post body generation.
• Insert to preserve changes — Lets you confirm and insert your edits from the expanded modal back into the form.
• Improved readability — Reduces scrolling and cramped viewing when working with large text blocks.

Benefits

• Better readability — Large templates and HTML are easier to scan, edit, and validate.
