FR: adaptative size for note text field in edit mode

Description

I recently reported in the webextension app that the note field is not expanded and that is actually a problem for me because I add lots of "metadata" there and I often have to refer to it. So having to manually click to the bottom right of the field to extend it is a recurring problem that would be solved with an automatically growing text field. See screen shots.

Default:

After extension:

Benefit / value

Better use of vertical screens, adaptative layouts seems almost always better (within reason).

Risk / caveats

I guess that for some bugged layouts the text field could take too much space? But in those situation I doubt the original layout would be fine to begin with.
Maybe displaying the entirety of the note could be a problem for over the shoulder hacking? Indeed the password is obscured by default but then a dropdown for the note field would be better than displaying only a few lines.

Sponsorship

I am willing to donate $15 for an enhancement of the legibility of the note field in the webextension and nextcloud app.

Are you a developer willing to implement this feature?: no (only good at python)

Can you sponsor the development of this feature or do you know someone who can?: yes (if by sponsoring you mean donating money)

Start by locating the note text field in the edit view and compare the behavior described for the webextension and Nextcloud app. Check how the field currently sizes itself, then verify that it grows to show the note content without breaking the surrounding layout or obscuring other fields.
