Hi,

I have setup a CMMS system that user submit info on an ipad. Some of the fields are Text areas, when you hit enter on the popup keyboard it skips to a new line instead of closing the keyboard. You cannot close or hide the keyboard unless you click on a text field followed by enter. Is there a work around for this.

You can just press the phone's back button. Oh wait, nevermind this is an Apple product where buttons are in short supply... 😂
