Most of the built in controls have parameters that allow some basic customization.

  1. Open the <web-extension>\share-config-custom.xml file.
  2. Change the number of rows and columns used for the textarea control that the cm:description field uses by default. 
    <configevaluator="node-type"condition="cm:content">
   <forms>
      <form>
         <appearance>
            <field id="cm:description">
               <control>
                  <control-param name="rows">20</control-param>
                  <control-param name="columns">80</control-param>
               </control>
            </field>
         </appearance>
      </form>
   </forms>
</config>
  3. If all textarea controls in the application need to have these settings, configure the control in the default-controls element. For example: 
    <configevaluator="node-type"condition="cm:content">
   <forms>
      <default-controls>
         <type name="d:mltext">
            <control-param name="rows">20</control-param>
            <control-param name="columns">80</control-param>
         </type>
      </default-controls>
   </forms>
</config>
  4. Save the file.
