Hi,

A simple thought was to adjust the height of the listbox but didn't find ways in doing so.

Below screenshot to illustrate (Version 11.1.1.7)

Many thanks for the help!

    In your question you said listbox but the screenshot shows Check Boxes. It is not possible to change height of either listbox or Check boxes unless you add some custom style.  If you have scroll bar showing up that means you have too many values for Check box or listbox. In those cases , choice list is better option in my opinion.

    I have found this blog about resizing the box size. I don't know whether it will work or not. I personally did not try. If you try this, let us know the result.

    Related to the answer posted above, your issue is that you want to fully display something which is dynamic by nature. Display all of them could be fine if you have 4-5 options, but what if you end up with 150 ? You will have to scroll the whole page just because of the list of options. That's why the prompt comes with internal vertical scroll, so it can occupy only a little part of the screen.

    Hi @ArijitC,

    I tried removing the escape character '\' and the javascript still have no effect on the size of dashboard prompt. Thanks for your help anyway.

    Hi @Gianni Ceresa,

    This is the business requirement to display all the options within the dashboard and the no. of options are fixed (<30).

    I tested that the vertical scroll bar would appear once 21 options have been reached. Wonder if any parameter settings / javascript can control this.

    I would more look at a single piece of CSS to be added to that page (to not affect things everywhere).

    Hi @Gianni Ceresa,

    This is a dashboard prompt. Can you point me where and the CSS syntax to be applied?

    Many thanks!

    you can add the CSS in the same dashboard page as a text element, it will not be visible on screen, as long as it's on the page you are fine.
