Set font size to auto in forms

[enceladus]

Hi folks. I am trying to create a fillable pdf on LO Draw. I created a form and want to put on text fields that the user can enter data into. I want the forms to automatically adapt the text size, so that if a user enters a lot of text it will still fit inside the field. Is this possible? I some references to setting the font size to “auto,” but I can’t find where to set this. I right clicked on the text field and went to the “Control properties…” menu, but no luck.

I appreciate your help.
