Allow multi-line textual responses
The "open-ended" response type allows arbitrary textual response, but only one line of text. For complex answers, including answers that may including tables or diagrams, one line is not sufficient. I would like to request an option (perhaps presented to the user as an "allow long answers" checkbox on the open-ended response type) that will allow the user to insert newlines and construct multiline responses.

Thank you for your feedback! Given the limited space on the results view, we’ve had to limit response lengths on open-ended questions but we will look into this suggestion as we see more customer interest.

I'd like to re-express my support for this idea. The ability for users to enter longer textual responses would be vital in supporting exercises for my programming class, where I regularly ask students to write short programs. At the moment, it's impossible to submit nontrivial code answers.
Please consider implementing this feature soon. Thank you.
