It’s now been over three years since this thread was marked as “Solving”, yet there hasn’t really been any update or ETA.
At this point, I’m starting to wonder whether this is ever going to be addressed.
On the surface, this seems like a relatively small feature request, but it has a surprisingly large impact on the editing experience for sites that make heavy use of WYSIWYG fields—especially when they’re nested inside groups or repeaters, where the interface quickly becomes cluttered due to the minimum height.
Could we please get an update on the status?
This would actually be fairly straightforward to work around in PHP using acf_update_user_setting(), if it wasn’t for the hardcoded minimum height of 300px in advanced-custom-fields-pro/fields/wysiwyg.php:
$height = max($height, 300);
There are even forum posts dating back to 2016 from users asking for a simple way to customize the WYSIWYG height. Ten years later, there’s still no built-in solution.
As an immediate improvement, simply removing the max() call would allow developers to set smaller heights themselves, while remaining fully backwards compatible for anyone who doesn’t override the value.
Longer term, the ideal solution would of course be to expose the editor height as a field setting, allowing everyone to configure it without writing custom code.
Either way, it would be great to know whether this is still actively being considered or if it’s no longer on the roadmap.
