Hey everyone, I am trying to allow a user to input text through a text area in 7.9, but I want to limit the number of new lines they can enter or disable resizing of the text area when they reach the end of the component.

Does anyone know how to accomplish this? I know this is possible through CSS, but am unsure if CSS can be applied to Ignition 7.9 components.
