Question

I’ve got a Symfony2.0 form and am trying to add a textarea field, by setting the field type to textarea.

If I pick anything else – number, percentage or whatever – it renders correctly. However, my textareas are rendering as single-line textboxes.

Any ideas why this could be?

Answer 1

It turned out that the problem was with my form theming. This wasn’t obvious, as I didn’t have anything in my form_layout.twig about textareas.

However, I was specifying {% block text_row %} in there. It turned out that textarea field display was falling back to using text_row because I hadn’t also included a definition for {% block textarea_row %}. Once I added the missing block, everything worked as expected.
