Hi,

I am using blockly 2.20190722.1 version for some contraints I cant update.

I want to implement multiline textinput as like field_multilineinput.js which is available in latest version of blockly. When I see the source code of field_multilineinput.js I was able to notice many functions such as this.getConstants() are not available in blockly 2.20190722.1 version

Can someone help me to write custom field equivalent to field_multilineinput.js in blockly 2.20190722.1 version.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Rajiv

The multiline textinput takes advantage a lot of apis that were added in newer versions. Additionally, I believe that since that version there were significant changes to Fields.

It's not impossible, but it's going to be very difficult to re-implement since it relies on new stuff.

Advice I can give is that you should still extend FieldTextInput and that you can probably reuse the generator code for field_multilinginput (you'll also need the multiline_quote_ helper).
