When I use PowerApps > Customize Form to increase the text box height of the mutli-line field (Description), the error message "Unable to find default display form" pops up because I'm creating a new version of the form with an expanded text box height. I need to increase the height of the text box, so that end users can easily read and update these multi-line field sections in the SharePoint list. How can I do so without invoking that "Unable to find default display form" error message?

    Hello @Samantha Mojica ,

    Welcome to Q&A Forum!

    According to my research, in SharePoint Online modern page, changing the height of the field through Power Apps is the best solution.

    For "Unable to find default display form" error, you can refer this case to solve your problem.

    Please following steps:

    1.Go to the list page and click Integrate >> Power Apps >> Customize forms
