Ideas for Arc XP

make the description field in the link list widget bigger

It's hard to edit much in that field. As a writer/producer it would be preferable to have a drag icon so that I can enlarge the field to view or edit text there more easily.

    Example text:

    You can now visit the rooftop or patio at Dorchester Brewing Company; make a reservation or check capacity on the website. But even if you can’t get a spot, you can still order beer and M&M BBQ to go. A mixed six-pack of Clapp’s Cream Ale, V1 Double IPA, Galaxy Lights, Lightyear Journey, Punch Bowl Sour, and Parish Pilsner goes mighty well with some pulled pork and BBQ chicken with all the sides.

    price: $300

    We were advised that we should use this feature for "listicle" articles - e.g., "10 best spots for a lobster roll" or "best Christmas presents for a teen", etc. So in our case there would be a paragraph of text followed by maybe a name, address, phone number, etc. in addition to the image.

    Hi Lynda, thank you for submitting this idea. Are you often putting many lines of text in the link list description field? We've typically seen that used with shorter bites of text so I haven't previously heard concerns about the size of that text entry box.
