The current template makes it difficult to properly describe feature requests. Problem statements often require multiple sentences, examples, or code snippets, but the existing single-line input fields force users into overly constrained responses.
If anything, the current template is backwards. In practice, describing a problem usually takes more space and context, while a proposed solution can often be summarized in a sentence or two—but the current input fields impose the opposite constraint.
However, in the spirit of eliminating unnecessary constraints, this PR opts to simply allow all fields to be
textareas.
