Increase number of rows of text input for basic question type

Educators

I am trying to figure out how to change the height or number of rows of the textarea for basic text input questions. I don’t want to do a free-response assessment because I am just gathering responses for data collection. They aren’t going to be self graded, peer graded, or instructor graded.

Here is the code.

<p>Try your best to simplify the wording without losing the original meaning.</p>
<label>Then, paste your simplified version in the box below.</label>
<additional_answer answer="optional acceptable variant of the correct answer"/>
  <textline size="120"/>
</stringresponse>
</problem>

I was able to lengthen the box by changing <textline size="20"/> to 120. But how do I make the box taller? In regular CSS it’s called rows="" but I don’t know what it is in the edX lingo.

Thanks!

Have you found any fix?

This doesn’t exist for the textline component.

You may be able to implement it with custom css through the theme?
