Yes, there is a way to automatically adjust the height of grid boxes in Webflow when the content inside them varies in length. You can achieve this by using the minmax function in the CSS grid properties. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Select the grid container: Start by selecting the grid container element in Webflow's Designer.

  2. Set the grid column property: In the element's style panel, set the grid column property to the desired number of columns.

  3. Set the grid auto-rows property: Next, set the grid auto-rows property to a value using the minmax function. For example, you can set it to minmax(100px, auto), which means the rows will have a minimum height of 100px and will expand automatically if the content exceeds that height.

  4. Adjust the layout: If necessary, adjust other layout properties such as spacing, padding, or margins to fine-tune the appearance of the grid boxes.

  5. Add content to the grid: Finally, add content to the grid boxes as needed. The height of the grid boxes will automatically adjust based on the amount of content inside them.

Using this approach, the grid boxes will dynamically adjust their height based on the length of the content inside them, providing a flexible and responsive layout for your website.

Example CSS:

.grid-container {  display: grid;  grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);  grid-auto-rows: minmax(100px, auto);}

Example HTML:

<div class="grid-container">  <div>Box 1</div>  <div>Box 2 with longer content</div>  <div>Box 3</div>  <div>Box 4</div></div>
