How to get an input widget to change its size dynamically in the application
Question
Usability

For instance, there is a screen where I have placed an 'input widget' with text line property as 1 but the 'max length' property is 8000 and I want the functionality of the input widget to be something like, if I am entering 4000 characters then instead of getting a scroll bar in the input field, i get the wole display of characters in multiple lines.

like in the snapshot, I want the widget to display the whole set of characters instead of a scroll bar and if it is empty then the size should be 1(text line property). Is it possible, if yes then how?

Did you try this forge component: https://www.outsystems.com/forge/component-overview/2133/text-area-auto-resizer

sample here

Use this component to automatically resize a textarea while the user types
