Alter the collection-level field "Media", under "Depositing Information"

[juliamiller]

Can we change the attributes of the field called "Media" so that it allows for an unlimited number of characters and the box can be expanded to see more than one line? This would align with the behaviour of the "Comments" field in the same location on the collection page.

We are hoping to be able to add resampling/transcoding information about the born-digital files. An example block of text is the following:

"Original audio files 48kHz/24bit stereo .wav (exceptions: 1 file at 41kHz/24bit and 2 files at 32kHz/24bit). All files resampled to 96kHz/24bit using Adobe Audition 2021 (build 14.4.3.4).

Original video files were .mov and .mp4. Access copies of .mov files were transcoded to .mp4 H.264 using Handbrake 1.6.1; original .mp4s already compliant with H.264 format and archived as is. Lossless archival copies (JPEG 2000 MXF OP1a) were created from original files using Adobe ME version 23.2.1 (build 2)."

Some background:
When I tried to add the above text- 1) I could only see one line of text, scrolling to the right to read the rest, 2) I could not resize the block to preview more of the text, 3) when I saved the edit I received an error message. I kept trying with fewer and fewer words each time and finally got it to save with just this abridged text:
"Original audio files 48kHz/24bit stereo .wav (exceptions: 1 file at 41kHz/24bit and 2 files at 32kHz/24bit). All files resampled to 96kHz/24bit using Adobe Audition 2021 (build 14.4.3.4). Original video files were .mov and .mp4."

We would like to be able to add as much info to this field as needed.
Let me know if you need more information.
Thanks!
