To do this reliably would require a bunch of deep cross-browser work - this is an area of pretty bad browser inconsistency, and worse, lying to us about the actual height of the element, which makes auto-sizing far more difficult.
Simplest approach would be to stick the entire form, including the textArea, into a scrollable area.
Second simplest would be to create a sub-form just for the TextAreaItem, have that be scrollable, and connect it with the main form via a ValuesManager. Alternatively, this could be done without a ValuesManager by implementing the sub-form as a CanvasItem.
Finally, you could use Feature Sponsorship. Note that we are now doing sponsorships in a style where we provide a patch to allow you to use the new APIs with an older version, so you don't have to wait for a new release, and your application code is forward-compatible (the patch just auto-disables itself when you update to a new version). Very convenient!

Hi Isomorphic,
I have the same question. How come when the max height is reached the scroll bars do not appear? Is there a way to force the scroll bars to appear under this use case?
Thank you

AutoFitTextAreaItem and max height
I'd like to have AutoFitTextAreaItem vertical size only grow upto a predefined limit. If there is more data then I want scroll bars to appear.
Is something like this possible?
I couldn't see a maxsize property, and setheight doesn't do the job.
