Hi,

How can I change the display height of the Multiple Choice Options field, so that a user will see more options in the window?
I had to input a list of instruments for users to select and there are 155 instruments listed.

By default only five options are viewable without scrolling - I would like to add to this so that it's more user friendly.

Thanks for any help with this in advance.

Unfortunately, this value is currently hard-coded. If you want to modify it, you'll need to hack the code by changing the size attribute at around line 426 of CRM/Core/BAO/CustomField.php:

Code: [Select]

            $qf->addElement('select', $elementName, $label, $selectOption,  array("size"=>"5","multiple"));

... although - it might be possible for you to over-ride that attribute by adding a directive to civicrm.css for input type select and class="form-select". You'll have to experiment with that and see if that works and is easier.

Hi,

Thanks so much for replying!
I had tried the css route before posting and it wasn't taking, and trying to find where it was hard coded had me pulling my hair out.

BTW, wonderful module!
