Yes, it is possible to disable the resizing feature of text areas in Webflow forms. By default, Webflow forms include a textarea element for multiline input fields, which allows users to resize the textarea by dragging the bottom-right corner. However, if you want to prevent users from resizing the textarea, you can use custom CSS to override the default behavior.

Here is the step-by-step process to disable the resizing feature in Webflow forms:

  1. Select the textarea element in Webflow Designer by clicking on it.
  2. In the right sidebar, switch to the Styles panel (the paintbrush icon).
  3. Click on the + Add Custom CSS button to add custom CSS to the selected element.
  4. In the Custom CSS input field, enter the following CSS code:
textarea {  resize: none;}
  1. Save your changes and publish your site for the changes to take effect.

By applying this custom CSS, the textarea element in your Webflow form will no longer be resizable. This ensures that the size of the textarea remains fixed, and users will not be able to resize it by dragging the corner.

Note: It's important to note that applying custom CSS to Webflow forms may affect the form's responsiveness and may require additional styling adjustments to maintain a consistent design across different devices. Always test your forms on different screen sizes to ensure they look and function as intended.
