    Cannot set text box to multi-line, allow paragraph breaks and not read-only in repeating section.

    When I check the Multi-line box on the display tab of a text box inside a repeating section bound to a secondary data source, the Read-Only box is check and disabled automatically.

    I don't understand why I can't allow editable, multi-line text, with wrap, with paragraph breaks. Any clarification appreciated.

    Works when bound to a main data source but not a secondary source.

    Ooooh. This looks a bit like a bug, almost.

    Instead of selecting the Multi-line check box, select the Wrap text check box. This will set the Multi-line box to checked, but doesn't set Read-only or lock it....

    I noticed that behaviour too - but it is still not possible to enable the "Paragraph breaks" check box - this is always disabled.  Why would new lines not be allowed?
