@DenisChenu, we are using a textarea for defining the template footer details at our themes via a theme option. That works fine using this code:

OPTIONS.TWIG:
<div class='row'>
<div class='col-sm-12'>
<div class='panel panel-default'>
<div class='panel-heading'>{{ gT("Footer") }}</div>
<div class='panel-body'>
<div class='form-group row'>
<label for='simple_edit_options_footer' class='control-label'>{{ gT("Footer text/copyright (HTML links supported)") }}</label>
<div class="input-group">
<textarea rows="5" cols="200" data-inheritvalue="{{oParentOptions.footer | escape}}" name="footer" class="selector_option_value_field selector__color-picker form-control simple_edit_options_footer" data-id="footer"></textarea>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

CONFIG.XML:
<footer>© Company name</footer>

In option.twig : yes, but not by config.xml only.

I mean : i already have a options.twig : https://gitlab.com/SondagesPro/SurveyThemes/skelvanilla/-/tree/master/options?ref_type=heads
But if i want to remove it : need toi update core.

Update the description : options.xml

You are right, at config.xml this is missing. I have adjusted the ticket title since it was mentioning options.xml.

@gabrieljenik, I hope you don't mind if we assign this one to you as well since this is also affecting setting theme options at config.xml so this is similar to your tickets

@DenisChenu, we already have a solution for text inputs at https://bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=18894. Would you be able to extend this for textareas as well? I think we really need this feature for LS 6.x templates.

@ollehar: This issue is confirmed, but what are the next steps for fixing it? We already have a solution for text inputs at https://bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=18894. Can we add support for textareas in a similar way?

Hm I'm not in the application team anymore, maybe ping @p_teichmann?

@p_teichmann, @tibor.pacalat, what can we do to get this bug fixed similar to the fix for text inputs at 18894?

@c_schmitz: At options.twig it was a piece of cake to use a textarea as theme option. When defining theme options at the config.xml, this is not doable which is a big disadvantage.
Nearly all our custom themes use a textarea for a "footer" theme option which allows them to enter simple text or HTML with links to their imprint or data privacy statements.
What can we do to support this at 6.x as well?

I didn't mind for this place, interesting too.

If you use textearea : https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/pull/3521 must be tested.

@gabrieljenik You unassigned yourself from this? At 2023-09-13.
