How to increase Memo Field Display Size on QBD

Is there any way to Increase the MEMO Field Display Size showing on a Sales Order/Invoice?    (screen, not form).  the field will contain > 4k characters and display 96 on a form, but only shows 21 characters on the screen.  Is there a way to increase the field size showing on the SO/Invoice forms on the screen to facilitate scanning?

How to increase Memo Field Display Size on QBD

Hello, careya2. 

 

In QuickBooks Desktop, each field in your company data file has a maximum number of characters that can be entered. To learn more about these limitations, please check out this article: Character limitations for fields in QuickBooks.

 

I can certainly understand how being able to enter more characters in a given field could be useful to yourself and others.  

 

For now, I recommend sending this feedback to our developers. So our developers will be aware of how we can improve your QuickBooks Desktop experience. Also, we're constantly looking for great product suggestions from customers like you. I believe that there are a lot of businesses that need this modification. 

 

Here's how: 

 

  1. In the top menu bar, go to HelpSend Feedback Online, then Product Suggestion. 
  2. Choose a Type of Feedback and Product Area (optional) from the available drop-down menus. 
  3. Enter any suggestions/feedback in your Here is my suggestion: field. 
  4. Select Send Feedback

 

Reach out to me if you have additional concerns or need further assistance. It's always my pleasure to help. Have a good one, and stay safe!

Maybe I wasn't clear - I do not need to ENTER more characters in the Memo Field on the Sales Order - I need to SEE the characters ENTERED.

Thanks for the clarification, @careya2. I can see the need to increase the Memo field display size on the sales forms.

 

While this is unavailable for now, we have submitted your idea to our developers for consideration in future enhancements.

 

I'd recommend you follow the steps shared by my peer above or you can also use our QuickBooks Feedback form to enter your request/suggestions. Please know that all our suggested plans are subject to further study.
