Text area widget for smart action form field in Node.js

The Node.js documentation says that the widget choice for form fields is no longer supported and that the default will be used.

Is there any way for us to create a text area field in the smart action form, in the Node.js backend?

Context

  • Project name: PayAtt Internal Admin Portal
  • Team name: All teams

Hello @zakarias,

As you have pointed out the area widget is not supported in a Smart Actions Form as of now. But in an effort to answer our community’s expectations, we are already working on adding all Forest Admin widgets to our Smart Actions Forms. We will release the support for each widget and its documentation as we progress through the list of unsupported widgets.

If this is satisfactory for you, we can announce here the support for Text area widget as soon as it is deployed :slight_smile:

Best regards,

Hi @dogan.ay,

Thanks for the info, that sounds good, I will keep an eye on this thread!

It’s quite an important widget for us, but I understand that migrating some things to the new system can take time. :slight_smile:
